    I tried the black wheel thing once. I think it worked well on the Vette.

    I see some Brazilian Chev Veraneio, 100% Econoline/Club Wagon on the lower side panels and hood, then Courier, ‘65 Falcon and even Escort Mk.1 for the grille.

    Somewhat dowdy throughout imho, the equivalent of a ‘65 Fairlane.

    Nissan has a new logo!

    I'm going to make all of you watch the whole video to see to see the new logo! (Hey, that rhymes :D).



    The video is good!

    They’re going to need more than a new logo if they are to survive.
    I’m old enough to remember when they launched Infiniti. Rocks & trees. Didn’t work then either.

    Have to agree.
    Very understated and not bad at all.
    Who knew a Javelin could look that cool?

    After 100 years, the art museum will have an exhibit of automotive art. Took them long enough.

    Detroit designers have always led the way in car design. The futuristic concept cars, roaring muscle cars, and sleek racers designed in and around the city shape our ideas of what a car can be. Working on paper, in clay, and in metal, their ideas drive American car culture and inform the way we get around every day.

    This exhibit organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts will highlight the artistry and influence of Detroit car designers working between 1950 and the present day. It will bring together 12 coupes and sedans designed across that 70-year period to highlight significant achievements in style and technology. The 12 cars include unique examples of experimental show cars created for display and iconic production models sold to the mass market. Design drawings and photographs will allow you to imagine the creative and innovative processes that bring a vehicle from the drawing board to the street.

    A selection of paintings and sculptures will highlight the conversation between the American art world and the car culture from the 1950s to the present day.



    Detroit Style: Car Design in the Motor City, 1950-2020 is organized by the Detroit Institute of Arts.

    Major funding is generously provided by the Ford Motor Company Fund, General Motors, and Mrs. Jennifer Adderley in loving memory of her husband, Mr. Terence E. Adderley.

    Additional funding is provided by the Marvin and Betty Danto Family Foundation, FCA US LLC, The Suburban Collection, Jennifer & David Fischer and Darcy & David Fischer, Jr., and Consolidated Rail Corporation on behalf of William Milliken.

    Additional support is provided by Barbara and William U. Parfet, TCF National Bank, and The Fisher & Company Family.

    Major funding for the exhibition catalogue is generously provided by the Margaret Dunning Foundation.

    like the Javelin front overhang wasn't already excessive enough?
    I notice there aren't any profile views of the car...
