1967 Dodge Viper

Thanks for posting. Very cool renderings. I happen to like it a lot.

 

Ah, the last of the decades when model years ending with a "7" were special.

FWIW - Did he do one of a '77 Viper, with big-ass bumpers, etc.?

 

Thank you for sharing. great pictures.

Very cool , never seen those pics before. Thank you for sharing.

 

LOVE IT !

 

Interesting idea but I find the design language wrong for what would have been period correct for Chryco at the time. A trademark of Chryslers design of the time were concentric rectangles for detailing. No US manufacturer would have used covered headlinghts at that point either. Way too much tumblehome for the time.

'Tumblehome' FTW !

 

Looks more like a 1967 Studebaker product than a Dodge.

Tumblehome = a term for the angle of the side and side gass of the roof. No "tumblehome" would be vertical. Lots of tumblehome would be as this exhibits.

Obviously you can argue the design details with hindsight. There are lots of different bits of other cars that can be seen in the design. However the images themselves in that deep red and also blue are quite an admirable work. Great to see!

No argument there

 

That is so cool - love it as well!

 

I see ALOT of Corvette in those renderings...."tumblehome" is a quite common term in boat building/design....Mark

cool video
in the very early phases of automotive design,the designs were influenced by carriage design & ship/boat design
"ships curves" were used extensively to produce many of the flowing designs during the late '20's & the '30's
the French really "nailed" that design language with some of the awesome Talbot-Lagos,Bugattis,etc.
