mikemodeler Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Is that the car that Rahm Emmanuel will ride in for his inauguration ceremony as the new mayor (Da Mare) of Chicago? Somebody had too much time and some sick thoughts when they put that together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moparfarmer Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I personally don't like that style of Riv, and I sure don't like how they destroyed it either. Its ugly to start with but what the guy/gal did to it makes it gross. It accomplished one thing, and maybe thats why it was done. To get attention. Like in models and some 1:1. I always said to make a model or real one kinda different, stand back and listen to the comments. Its always good to hear(you have to be able to take criticizm of course).You will always get attention............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete J. Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) I think it is a perfect example of something built in too small of a garage. You stand too close to it to get the overall view. This guy had about 6" of space on each side. Dat's jus hideous! Edited February 25, 2011 by Pete J.

Luc Janssens Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 (edited) Don't really know what to say. I found this while doing a search for something else. Let the commentary begin! IIRC this was the first prototype of the then new Riv (shown in '67 I think) but after the "open air review" at the GM Tech center in Warren MI, GM execs ordered everyone in design, to be tested for illegal substances. (Later on they learned, the ventilation in the building was tampered with.) The '71 Riviera we all know, is a seriously toned down version, from that drug inflicted initial design. Anyone into design should read the book: What were they smoking? (subtitle: Weird Detroit designs) By R. BION ISBN-13: 978-0446378918 Edited February 25, 2011 by Luc Janssens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
