Paris dressmaker speaks
 

'If we were to design the cars 100% streamlined, following all the aerodynamic principles, would not all the cars look alike and the designers have nothing to do?'
H. Schmude, General Motors Corporation, to, Walter Korff, designer:555-mph,Summer Brothers' Goldenrod LSR streamliner, and Chief aerodynamicist, Lockheed Aircraft Company, SAE Paper No. 649B,January 1963,Automotive Engineering Congress, SAE Transactions, Volume 72,1964,p.592.

I’ve been told the cars sheet metal is a canvas with which you could paint anything.

Perhaps something other than white, black or silver might help?

That's a good point.

If I had money, I might pay a guy from the best lowrider paint tradition to make a work of a large, good aero car, such as a Tesla Model S, or a small one such as the Gen1 Insight, and transform it in a unique way... this vid is about a great legendary car of the lowrider scene, now preserved in the Smithsonian, apparently.

Would be quite curious to say the least, either the Tesla or the Insight with those small wire-spoked wheels and whitewall tyres.

I offer for you consideration, a dressmaker's car:

I remember an editorialist in C&D or R&T commenting on how 1950s cars with their rows of teeth (looking at you, 1953 DeSoto) looked like they lurk in the garage at nigh waiting to eat something.

That car inspired the Munsters.
