Curtis Fox sent me this link... one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen, a prototype which never went into production but should have. Thanks, Curt!

Hey Silverbear,

Here's what I'm thinking. We take the part of the canoe that's left and then we move the sides out about a foot and a half and then all we have to do is...........................

Fast ( always thinking) eddy

Steve,
Well it occur to me that with the rear drawn in it would have made a beautiful 3 wheeler.

Sioux,
Yes, it did remind me of the 53 Vette which I think is still the best looking Vette ever. I remember when I was a little kid and first saw one with those grilled headlights... so cool!
By the way, welcome to the forum!

The ‘53 Vette reminds me of a backwards ‘35 Alfa Rameo...

And white.

I'm kinda reminded of the Batmobile.

But that Alfa is still pretty cool, all the same.

Beautiful. Imagine the hearts it would have broken had it gone into production....
The early alfa's never ran more than five minutes at a time.
Having something this incredible looking parked would be torture!

Beauty. The BMWs didn't go aero until 1939 or so. Here is a '35 Bimmer for contrast.

Agreed. Italian automotive engineering caught up with their metalworking artistry only very recently. To reverse engineer a modern power train into something like that would be my dream. Talk about a cool vehicle.

It reminds me of the early Auto Union racing machines.

Man, that thing is even cooler-looking than the Phantom Corsair. Really sleek.

Oh man. Brough Superiors are like the Rolls Royces of motorcycles. I would LOVE to own the same model that Lawrence of Arabia had. I would, of course, try not to get in a wreck on it though. That was a shame.
