Indeed. I'm pretty sure it was in one of my Dad's airplane magazines from the early '50s.

Not sure why anybody would want to waste a perfectly good '63 Dodge front clip like that! 

Another photo shopped image, no doubt.

This might be taking recycling just a little too far!

 

Taking "stretch limo" to the extreme!

 

I understand "going green" but do we have to look like the trees that we're hugging?

 

Not very practical, but kind of sexy!

I read an article about one of the designers of the winged cars.He was asked why was the wing at the height that it was.Most people think it was so the trunk could be opened.But when he was asked,he replied that opening the trunk had nothing to do with the height of the wing.But rather they were determined to put as much down force onto the rear tires.I believe these cars were the first muscle cars that were tested in a wind tunnel,and that's how they got their answer.

These cars were designed and built to race in NASCAR.  NASCAR rules at the time required that manufacturers produce a certain number of cars for the street.  Chrysler produced that number of cars and no more.  If they were wind tunnel tested, which I am sure you are correct, it was purely for the track.
