BUMP


It's amazing what they did, they created a whole site and lineup of the Chevelle line from the '60s/'70s and it looks pretty good, just needs to be warmed over a little, especially the grill.

You thought that they looked good?

A Cadillac XLR with a quasi-retro Chevelle front end isn't my idea of anything other than .

They started this almost a year ago, and this isn't anywhere near a cadillac, the concepts were hand drawn and then made on computers.


I can't believe you don't like the look of this, I will without a doubt admit that the sedans/wagons/baja crappy truck things are just , but I think these are very nice:

I thought they were just chops from existing GM vehicles, I thought I'd placed all of them.

Nope, they've got the whole timeline of them making it, they started out as sketches, then computer images.  Except the interior is a modified SSR's.

The rear end of the one that you posted is to some extent. The front end is more of a cross between a more-agressive (2006) Hyundai Sonata and a less-agressive (2006) Dodge Charger.

lol, if I had the time I'd like to do that too.


Also they used all existing or future parts from GM and even have dimensions and ratings and everything, complete with comparisons against competitors.
