Red Baron and the Twinmill

Does the Mako Shark count, or were you going for "homebuilt" rods and customs?

Love the Manta Ray!!! I had a slot car of it way back in the slot car days.

Wish someone made a reasonable model!!!!

The manta ray and uncertain are at the top of my list. Also, I always liked this one. Must be the dragster profile.

But these look like "hot rods" or even "race cars", if maybe a little "Zingerish" or "Switcherish. What really differentiates a "show car" from a "kustom" ?

And, my answer is: "none". Never did care for most of those garish, overdone art pieces, not even as a kid. Everyone has their own taste in art forms.

(edited- now I can see the first car in total.)

1995 Chrysler Atlantic tribute to 1938 Bugatti 57SC Atlantic.

1999 Dodge Charger -- even though it's 4 doors, this is the Charger that should have been. Very Viperish and still looks good.

[JunkPile]

Yes, I am guilty of liking form-over-function at times. Lov'n them show rods

First one that always jumps to my mind is the 1953 Ghia / Chrysler Coupe D'Elegance (a refinement of the '51 K-310 concept), to which the '98 Chrysler Chronos pays homage.

Maserati's 2005 Birdcage concept does it for me, too...

I loves me some Orbitron.

[Ace-Garageguy]

Some of Luigi Colani's designs, because they're completely over-the-top...

My two are still Lincoln's Futura and GM's Firebird III. I also like the Alexander Brothers' Dodge Deora.

I thought of one I really liked--Alexander Brothers '66 Barracuda. I'm gonna build a model "inspired by" this one someday.

This board won't let me hot-link the image (I tried) but you can see it here:

The Black Widow 1926 Ford Model T Roadster. http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/featuredvehicles/0909rc_1926_ford_roadster_pickup_black_widow/photo_02.html

[jbwelda]

kinda like it:

but I am a lot more partial to the old skool customs like the Ala Kart, Manta Ray, Wild T than much I have seen in the past decade or so. but I do have to say that Maserati is pretty fantastic too.
