Which Classic Car Design Would You Revive?
Okay, my suggested design revival would be the Studebaker Avanti body with a Tesla underneath. It's a timeless styling concept that died an early death because of Studebaker's fold.
1953 Studebaker Starliner Coupe, from the studio of Raymond Loewy
Someone has to drop a truck on this, so I nominate the original Dodge Power Wagon.
BAM!
In the lust worthy 80's and 90's challenge, I would offer the Plymouth (Chrysler) Prowler, which came out in '97.
Good call. Whatever happened to that thing?
Brubaker Box Van/Machine!!!
64 1/2 Ford Mustang

The 1960 Buicks, sculptural masterpieces.
1972 Datsun 510
The 1970 Plymouth Barracuda (top)
My all time favourite car, the 1969 Camaro. (middle)
My '65 Plymouth Valiant that was cruelly taken from me when a jerk ran a red light. That Slant-6!
Not yet classic but love to see McLaren F1 reproduction, amazing packaging of hyper car, the size of Honda civic hatchback, but seats three, plus luggage, how many super cars can do that? None
definetly anything AMC .... like the pacer
kidding... either the javelin
or eagle coupe. (suck on that subaru)
I thought this was about America car designs.
The 1960 Buick sedan, any model (LeSabre, Invicta, Electra). Such seductive curves!
1976 Nissan Skyline GTR
This one and the datsun 620 for sure when we get to Japanese cars
chevy nomad :D
Jensen interceptor... no least for the name...
E30 M3 of course! With a spattering of new mechanicals, but keeping it in the spirit of the original.
A 1948 Tucker for certain, and if the law allows for concept cars which never got off the drawing board, I'd have to go for the Tucker Talisman.
1965 corvair would be sweet with some upgrades.
Sorry, BUT the picture you have here is not a 1965 GTO. It's a 1966 or 1967. I had a '67 as my first car. The '65 has harder lines and is slightly smaller.
Good catch--I see now the rear fenders are clearly flaired like the '67. By the bye, you lucky bastard, that was your FIRST car?!?
Yep! Blue with white interior, 400ci (6.5l), Borg Warner T-10, with Hurst Syncro Loc shifter, and solid B-pillar so it was real quiet somewhere beyond the speedo peg.
Chris,
I hate you.
