Ford Phaeton. How the hell did u know that?

cause I know cars... I study automotive design.. it's one big circle... no car design is ever really "new"... the basic design of a car hasn't changed much in the last 120 years... 4 wheels, find a way to fit in some people and a motor. So, to come up with new designs like this:



99% of car designers pull from old designs like this



And then you can rewind even more from the above 66 GT40 to something like the phaeton, and you can see how a lot of the fender swells and graceful, clean lines carried over...



And from the phaeton, you can go back to the way early days of cars, as the 30s were a turning point in car design, from funtion to fashion. What would eventually become those huge, graceful fenders started as a way to keep rocks and dust from hitting you.. Just about every car on the market today can be "traced" as far as design goes back to the 10's and 20's.. they just keep breaking down, breaking down, breaking down, until you're at a basic "skeleton" type design.



look closely at that 1885 mercedes and you can see the S curves that are still present in just about every car on the road today... starts at the nose, sweeps over the front wheel(s), plunges down for the running boards, then gracefully flows out into what would become the rear quarters.

you are the shit. Well versed and good pics to prove it, what do you do for a living?

[SixSquared]

I thought 57 still had the bigger white spot on the end.. I could be thinking 56 though.
