I'm in love with the fins.

Reminds me of the classics.

[TitsMcGee]

It kinda reminds me of the batmobile

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

A few of my favorite concepts:

1962 Mako Shark (Corvette)

1965 Manta Ray (Corvette) (yes, thats a shaker hood on a vette)

Not necessarily old, but check out the 2005 Holden Efijy concept car.. WANT!!!!!!!!! It's based on one of Holden's old models, the FJ, which was produced from 1953 to 1956.

cars from the 30's and 40's were freakin cool to begin with not to mention the concepts that never saw production

[Head Wreck]

i have loved that Holbern concept.

2006 BMW Mille Miglia

[pheramoans]

The I.A.D. "Alien" concept car, of 1986.

[Msterbeau]

yay no blind spots

Except for the fins...

Agreed... They did a nice job with that.

There's really no reason manufactures couldn't make cars styled like this on the outside. The only significant issue is what's called "die draw", which is how deep metal can be stretched in the tool before it rips. Old cars had their complex shapes made in mutliple small parts which would be cost prohibitive today. Those parts would have to be done in some sort of plastic. (Fenders mainly)
