Who'd ever thunk that hand vacuum cleaners with big wheels would be the next inspiration!

When I was a kid, a friend's mom had a kind of pointy-nosed minivan that was essentially that shape.

All the best,

Oh wow, there it is!

Well, serves me right for commenting before reading further ahead.

All the best,

Not Ferraris. Needs to keep trying.

 

Or should have quit a while ago!

Yikes. swing and a miss

 

I like the second one, but without the scoops, or maybe a Maranello scoop.

 

Hark!

Did I just spot a bit of 1965 Impala on one of those Birds?

Have any of you guys used Vizcom, or know anyone who has? I’d like to get some thoughts on it before I try it out.

 

I have it. It is pretty cool. It wants to turn everything into a car, and if you don't give it much information, it wants to turn everything into a Corvette (That problem has gotten much better throughout development)
They keep improving it and adding features. The really nice thing about it is that if you give it a tight line drawing, it retains your overall shape.
You can use it for free, so no worries of wasting your money.

 

I'll check it out.

 

I have to disagree with Jeff; I think there's a lot of 365 Daytona in the first one. Got to lose the wierd louvers on the hood & not sure what those big side scoops are doing on what appears to be a front engined car, but the overall form says Daytona to me. Even the droopy headlights are reminisent of the first Daytona prototype.
