Hmmm Kelmark GT meets 450 Hai with some Carrera 6 greenhouse and of course yellow for the cherry or lemon on top. One thing the design does is illustrate what a talented team Pininfarina had cooking up timeless designs.
Hey; remember, somebody designed those, those, things........not everyone finished Transportation 101 with passing grades......
Which reminds me: "What do they call the individual that graduated at the bottom of their Med Class?" Doctor. Someone did in fact design those 'things'. And i'll bet they thought they looked pretty good. Trans Design indeed.
I have a soft spot for those kinds of cars. A big ocean-liner of a car on a supple suspension with plush interior featuring essentially a huge sofa, and oodles of trunk space for your luggage. It just looks like it would be a comfortable way to traverse the interstate highway network across the States. Road tripping old school style. All the best, Andrew.

Salween HQ used to be here in Troy, Michigan. Can’t say where they moved or whether the Chinese took over.
Awful exterior, to the point of embarrassing, and something to be removed from one's professional portfolio. The interior from the one photo though has promise - that designer may have a future.
Not one of Raymond Loewy's finest. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login

That's quirky. I do wonder about the airless tires and all those intricate details on the wheels though - that just seems like something that would get completely blocked up with mud and cause mobility/performance issues. All the best, Andrew.
Yes, it looks like high style. Agree on the wheels. Needless intricacy. But overall as a concept, pretty cool, IMHO.
