I’d pay stupid amounts of money for a combination of an 1950s design with modern EV tech&safety. The fins, the two-color paint job, etc.

- hef19898 4y agoThere are actually a couple of companies doing EV conversions for classic cars. Safety is an issue so, and safety is also what will make a pure 50s visiual desogn impossible today.
- nikanj 4y agoMost of the design language that I yearn for has zero effect on safety. I don't want my car to look like an aggressive feline animal when viewed from the front, but essentially all modern cars do. I want my rear lights to be shaped like, well, lights, not like abstract paintings. Etc
