Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / December 2006New Fashion Trend?
They say that fashion trends are somewhat circular, where things that went out of fashion many years ago eventually come back into fashion if you wait long enough. Well, here's one that has been out of fashion for 100 years or so. Do you remember what cars looked like when they first came out, and their had huge WAGON wheels on them? Yesterday I saw an H2 with ENORMOUS BLING BLING spoked wheels on it - these wheels were so large in diameter, they made the Hummer look like a big, fugly Model T. Or maybe a caricature of a Model T. Perhaps this was his inspiration: http://www.aaanativearts.com/catalog/images/CopperAntiqueCar25529-CSG1102.jpg  SignatureI hate speediots - especially Carl Troller.

Hmm, with the release of several 'retro' vehicles over the past decade (PT Cruiser; Thunderbird; Chevy SSR; no to mention the New Beetle and the BMW/Mini Cooper), I wonder if they are ever going to go real retro and redo the Model A (the model T may be impossible to get aerodymanic enough - the Model A alone will be tough). Now a New Style Model A, that would be worth looking into! Alas, the Plymouth Prowler, which kinda went in that direction (albiet more torward a Cord/Auburn styling, though), did not sell so well.

Now *that* would be RETRO!! :) SignatureI hate speediots - especially Carl Troller.
