2004 Imperial/ Dirk /the Netherlands

Dirk,

Good for you !!!... I'm with you on those '70's NYB's.

Retro is "cool"......... what about the old style "nose" look, like an old Cord/Rolls/Bentley ???.... you could take the basic NYB style and pull back the frontfenders/turn signals one foot or more and get that "forward look" with the nose sticking out, and then maybe a "boattail" or "continental/flightsweep" tail. I like the old style stainless steel roofs and I like the idea of a "retro" interior also......... You could make it SO MUCH better looking than the NEW UGLY "300" that Chrysler has coming out soon !!! Just my 2 cents.....Wishing you ALL the BEST !!!....Keep us posted....I'd love to see your ideas !!!!.......CHEERS

>Hello,

>At this moment I am graduating as an Industrial Designer in the Netherlands.

>I love the Imperials and New Yorkers, the 1974-78 are of course my

>favourite.

>I am planning to design a luxury-top-of-the-line Imperial for the Chrysler

>company,

>because I think it's time someone should come up with a good design for this

>car, and for Chrysler, as a competitor to Lincoln and Cadillac.

>Especially now with the intoduction of the Cadillac Sixteen and Lincoln

>Continental which are both concepts..I don't see them go into production,

>the companies are not as daring as Chrysler is at the moment.

>The project of course will be fake (it's a graduation project), but possibly

>can lead to sending model sketches to Chrysler.

>I have many ideas about how the car should look like.

>The car wil be based on a four door hardtop, with formal look (slab sided)

>and sweeping styling elements from Chrysler cars of the seventies....

>It's time the public will appreciate and accept these cars, and blow away

>the humpty dumpty look and big toy look from Lincoln and Cadillac (sorry)

>(the ones you always see in those R&B video clips)

>I would really like to hear your opinion on the design, look or whatever you

>would like to say.

>Thanks,. Dirk
