OMG! She is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen!!!

[RetroLounge]

The Chevy 789 concept car...

I want her badly...

[seemunkee]

1. I don't know

It looks a little retro to me.

[RetroLounge]

2. You think?

:rofl:

RL

[aljones]

3. Sweet Ride!!!

You gonna buy it?

[RetroLounge]

21. If I had 88k to toss around, yes...

alas, I do not...

:hi:

RL

[Richardo]

4. It's like a Nomad and an Impala welded together...

...I like it in a 50s nostalgia kinda way, and I'm no gearhead. It reminds me of Ford's retro-retooling of the T-bird and Mustang a few years back. :thumbsup:

[RetroLounge]

22. All Chevy...

'57 Bel air front, '58 Impala sides, '59 Impala rear end...

RL

[Richardo]

24. We owned the 1956 Nomad wagon when we moved from PA to CA

...in 1960. The 'Aztec Gold and Cream' paint scheme. I miss that car - and I was only 4 years old. :cry:

[guitar man]

5. wow

The front half of a '57 chevy and the rear half of a '59 chevy fused together.:wtf:

[ronnykmarshall]

16. Yeah you're right

I said the front looked like a '55 ... but's more like a '57. But the back is a '59, no question about that.

We had a '59 Impala and years later my dad bought a '59 El Camino. The love fins on those.

I want this car!

[guitar man]

36. yep, here's the scoop

Named for the three years represented in the overall design, the 789 has the "hooded eyes" and chrome grille bar of a '57 Bel Air, a mid-section and tri-toned interior that is reminiscent of a '58 Impala and the "bird in flight" rear tailfins of a '59. These three vehicles are all instantly recognizable classics celebrated by people around the world.

6. It looks to be

a cross of the Buick, Pontiac and corvair.

[RetroLounge]

25. Nope, all chevy. 57-58-59

:hi:

RL

[KitchenWitch]

7. THAT is a HAWT car!

:hi:

[RetroLounge]

28. Definitely...

I've been drooling over it for days...

I NEED one...

RL

[KitchenWitch]

33. If I were a doctor, I would write you a prescription for one

:)

[Writer]

8. Honey, honey, HONEY!

Let's pool our resources. I'll let you drive it on the weekends. :P

[RetroLounge]

26. I'm good with that...

:9

RL

[wildhorses]

9. yep. i can dig it.

:thumbsup:

i wish all these bikers that anwer my proflie could understand *sigh*

[RetroLounge]

27. It should be the official DU car...

Skinner would look good in one, don't you think?

RL

[wildhorses]

41. honey even ole gregg would look good in it!!!! ----

i can dig it!!!!

[jobycom]

10. I dunno, it reminds me of Johnny Cash's car in "One piece at a time."

A mismatch of different styles, different eras, different fantasies.

Does America build anything new anymore? We can't create, we only reach back to the past and grab memories out of context.

Hmm, too serious for a car thread. :) Sorry. Cool car.

[bbernardini]

11. Kind of reminds me of this:

<>

[unpossibles]

46. haha! This one is better looking

but that's the first thing I thought too.

[NightWatcher]

12. I have long since wondered why they dont make new cars inspired by old cars

Along the lines of the last Thunderbird. People who did not have money/ or live in the 50's-70's can finally buy the cool cars that we've always wanted.

[asthmaticeog]

13. Think they'll do a hybrid model?

</obligatory>

[ronnykmarshall]

14. I LOVE it!

The front end looks like a '55 Belair and back is the classic '59 Impala!

[mainegreen]

15. That, my friends, is what a car is supposed to look like!!!

[ronnykmarshall]

19. You said it!

Cars from the 50's and 60's had flair and style.

[Richardo]

20. When I was living in Denver in the 80's, I knew the son of Harley Earl

GM's design genius. I didn't believe him at first when he said his dad invented car fins. :wow:

[datasuspect]

17. a vette with a retro kitsch design?

[SPKrazy]

18. But do you love her madly!

:shrug:


:thumbsup:


nice ride!

[RetroLounge]

23. Wanna be her daddy...

:rofl:

RL

[SPKrazy]

31. don't you love her way

:rofl:

:pals:

:hi:

[JVS]

29. So garish

[RetroLounge]

50. Yes!

and you say that like it's a bad thing...

RL

[Little Wing]

30. Fug

[formerrepuke]

32. A tale of two chevys: '57 front end with a '59 rear end.

[swimboy]

34. Quick, Robin! To the Bat Cave!

Da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da da-da-da Dah!

I agree, it's sweet!

[Guava Jelly]

35. I thought this was going to be a pie thread :o)

The car is beautiful though.

[Rising Phoenix]

37. she is a beauty all right

and you deserve her

[Bake]

38. Reminds me of Johnny Cash's "psycho-billy Cadillac!"

One piece at a time ...

Please tell me that car has the guts of a 'Vette underneath the skin!

Bake

[RetroLounge]

49. Corvette all underneath. 400 HP...

:hi:

RL

[Bake]

59. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!

And she's purty too!

Bake

[Oeditpus Rex]

39. The Ghosts of Harley Earl go to Hollyweird

"Dude! Why just re-make one car when we can re-make three cars in one??"

This car has no idea what it wants to be.

:thumbsdown:

[Little Wing]

40. It's like a Dodge Viper crossed with The Batmobile

any version of the batmobile, even the Tim Burton type

[Oeditpus Rex]

44. Excellent analogy

:thumbsup:

I could almost — almost give it a pass, but for those HIDeous wheels. :puke:

[RetroLounge]

51. It wants to be MINE...

:thumbsup:

RL

[Rob H.]

42. $135,000?! No, thanks

That's the price listed at n2amotors.com, fwiw.

[dropkickpa]

43. Not a fan of the color scheme

But the rest is awesome! I'm a total sucker for classic cars!

[TOhioLiberal]

45. It's a sweet car...

...I love the coloring on it. The light blue and the dark blue is awesome

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

47. Yeah, that's gonna solve GMs problems.

[RetroLounge]

52. Not sure how an independent company

building a custom limited edition car would solve GM's probelms.

Care to explain? :shrug:

RL

[BarenakedLady]

48. Coooool

:thumbsup:

I really thought you were talking about something else entirely. ;)

Sweet looking ride!

[RetroLounge]

53. Well, I gotta watch what I say about that...

with stalkers and all :9

RL

[Taverner]

54. Why did I know that was you by looking only at the pics?

[LynzM]

55. Ooooh. That *is* pretty.

And I'm not much one for cars. *drool*

[Deja Q]

56. That's nothing to this hot lil' hummer here!!

[Roon]

57. Nice! Very retro! eom

[Evoman]

58. Pfft...this ones better

[Bake]

60. When pigs fly ...

Bake

[Jamastiene]

61. Damn, she is, ain't she?

When you get her, will you let me ride cross country in her? Me likey.

[RetroLounge]

65. "baby, you can sleep while I drive..."

:hi:

RL

[madrchsod]

62. front is great but the bat wings suck

i prefer a variation of the 57 rear design

[QMPMom]

63. I want it! And in that exact color combo, too!

My parents had a '57 Chevy when I was little.

[SKKY]

64. I don't know that a car can actually be "sexy"...

...but this thing is damn close.

[The Traveler]

66. Yowzuh!

Suddenly, my third gen Camaro just seems ... plain. :drool:

[LibraLiz1973]

67. That is amazing

I wonder if it will ever be for sale?


I'm drooling
