I agree that is a beauty!
|
Nothing wrong with either of those....the 2nd picture looks so much like a Lamborghini Miura.
|
Too bad they never adopted the gullwing doors.

The Cerv III that came out in the 80's looked great (for the era). The Pontiac Banshee looked real similar and better when it came out in the early 90's.

By todays standards, but keep in mind that in that era, men were wearing pastel colored polyester leisure suits with screen printed silk shirts, and white platform shoes. It was what it was.
Rolling to the disco in a brown on tan C3 with 178HP, and a 3-speed TH was the bomb. Get it right... or don't get it period |

^^^^
Ride height is fine (look how low the area below the door is to the ground). As usual, it has the GM ridiculous tire/fender clearance.... for snow chains, I guess:rolleyes: |

I agree! And age or era have nothing to do with it. A well proportioned, esthetic line of a classic car remains so over the decades (and commands high premium prices). A dog (like the Aztek) remains ugly over time that nobody would want to buy at any price.

Bob Lutz arrived at GM when the Aztek was released. He really liked it and so did I. Kids loved it also and it reached it's target market.

Huzzah! |
I always liked the Aerovette. Very sleek design. I got a chance to see it in person one time. It's a shame, GM got cold feet.
