Harry P. Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 For instance...what if the Impala had gone to horizontal taillights a few years earlier? What if the mid-sixties GTO had horizontal headlights... What if the new 300 had a more "heritage" look? Just a few of the ideas rolling around in my head...

Ken Kitchen Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Yes, No, Yes. Love the taillight treatment it really works. No way on the GTO. You can't improve on perfection. I definitely like the updated treatment on the 300, but I think a little more modern treatment of the headlights would help it. Get rid of the trim rings and fair it into the body. Otherwise a great improvement on the design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 What would a Magnum have looked like...in 1968??? What if a Studebaker and a Mustang had a baby??? Oy, vey... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikelo Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Nice to see some of your versions of styling snafus. I do like the Impala. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaroman Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Harry I think it's time for your meds. Seriously, I like most of them, but the GTO looks as if the goat was pollenated by a super bee!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaroman Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 After my last post I looked closely at the Impala; Compared to your avatar looks as if they should have simply kept the horizonals (?) a couple of more years! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 14, 2007 Author Share Posted September 14, 2007 What if the Beach Boys were English? What if the New Beetle was a little more like the old one? What if a Corvette had a "Luxury Decor package" option... And what would a tuner from the Communist bloc have looked like in 1968? ok...I'll take my medication now...

Peter Lombardo Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Harry, you have way too much free time on your hands. That "Studebang" is way over the top, but I do find the Chrysler 300/DeSoto an interesting idea. Headlights look a little odd, but I was thinking about something along these lines...how would a Chrysler 300 look if done as a '49 Mercury style leadsled? I think not too far from the front design of your car. Maybe....Maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Harry, All look good to me, but then I only have a B.S. in graphic design....... GTO works better than the Chevrolet, with the Charger least liked. 300 is flat out perfect! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted September 15, 2007 Author Share Posted September 15, 2007 ok...just so nobody thinks I'm nuts...several of those were just done for laughs. The Studebang, the Cadivette, the Tranbant tuner, etc. were just me goofing off. But I actually do like the 300, and the "horizontal lights" GTO is kind of nice.

plasticgas Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 (edited) I kinda like the goat! What about doing it with that same grill and hide-a-ways like the '68 GTO? Edited September 26, 2007 by plasticgas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41CHEVY Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 The Goat.... maybe, the Charger ..... looks like an El Camino with a cap, the 300....perfect, But the TRIBANT !!! I bought a Revell of Germany one years ago as a joke.......Now where is it????? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camaroman Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Harry I hope no one at GM sees that CORVETTALAC. They are crazy enough to try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr moto Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 The Corvettillac sure works for me but those bean counters in Detroit wouldn't have the guts to do it! Adventurous styling died sometime in the 60's and was replaced by committee-driven, focus-group tested styling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY NUT HERE. DO U EVER DRAW ANYTHING BY HAND?? TOM MURPHY UNFINISHED DREAMS I haven't drawn anything by hand in many years. I used to do it all by hand... airbrush (acrylics) on illustration board. And all the pain that goes with it... running out of a color at 10 PM with the illustration due in the morning and no art supply stores open anymore... or worse yet, paint bleeding under the frisket... or worse yet, the airbrush spitting onto the illustration, or actually spilling paint onto it. Sheesh... the stuff I used to put up with! Now I do all my illustrations electronically. Still "drawn" by me, but instead of an airbrush I use a mouse now. That's progress, I guess...

Chuck Most Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I haven't drawn anything by hand in many years. Neither have I, trouble is, I suck at graphic programs. So if I picked up the pencil and pad again, I'd be terrible, and if I clicked on the mouse in a Photoshop type program, I'd be far worse.
