Title: Photoshop ?
Post by: flash041 on October 29, 2012, 07:40:17 AM: Is this a Photoshop project, or does the car exist?

Also the back doors lack window cranks & the rear glass is fixed. Unless you had working AC you would broil in the summer in that car.

That car would need a complete rework to make it sales worthy. It appears to have manufacturer plates as well.

That is the Ford test track in Dearborn, Michigan.

I don't know, but I'll bet if anybody could find out, it would be Matthew Gunter. Wouldn't that be a neat find?

Post by: flash041 on November 05, 2012, 05:42:58 PM: If you look at the last pic. You can see the passenger side has just one door.

Post by: dga57 on November 06, 2012, 03:10:43 PM: Actually, I rather like the look of it but ease of entry/egress would probably be a real issue... not much room back there!

Post by: earthquake on December 02, 2012, 11:27:42 PM: flash041 good eye,I didn't catch that.It's must be a concept to test the viability of such design.More than likely it was tough to enter and exit both front and rear,the doors are really short.It does look cool though.
