]]> <![CDATA[What Concept Would You Like To See Built?]]> I would say that it would definitely have to be the Ford Bronco concept, bring it out as a ligitimate Jeep/Hummer fighter, not some cheap urban dweller's toy, but a true offroad machine. Make it in a couple different styles: one with a solid roof, one with a removable hardtop, and a soft top. And for god's sake, DON'T add extra doors onto it! The 2 door styling and short wheelbase fuctionality is what would make this one awesome outdoor adventurer's dream.

]]> <![CDATA[What Concept Would You Like To See Built?]]> i second/third/fourth the Microbus.

And then I'd finally like to see that Pyramid-shaped Citroen that was on the cover of my very first issue of Road & Track finally hit the road.

There it is, Sept. 81, the Citroen Karin. That issue also had the R5Turbo.

Then there's the Ford Barchetta, [Ghia, 83], though I think it's been done by now. Maybe a Ka convertible conversion...

]]> <![CDATA[What Concept Would You Like To See Built?]]> Imagine you pull up to the stoplight with the family in your VW Microbus right next to a Cadillac Sixteen and some guy pulls up in the left turn lane on a Tomahawk.

While you're waiting for the light to change a Nomad and a Ford 49 cross in front of you as the guy on the Tomahawk blips the throttle.

What a world, what a world!

How about the Suzuki pickup truck?

How about the helicopter cabbed Nissan pickup from the 90s? Or any Ford with a straight 8. Or anything with 16 cylinders? Of course, I won't be filling the tank, so it matters not if it is actually built.

tomsweetser

]]> <![CDATA[What Concept Would You Like To See Built?]]> Everyone knows that the glory days of concept cars were not in the nineties, not in the fifties, not the sixties and certainly not these days. All hail the absolute ridiculousness of glass-single hinged cockpitted red-leathered Italian nonsense that was spewed out at every major car show all through the seventies. In eighth grade I had the good fortune of coming across two books in my history class: an early 90s book on tanks of the Cold War and Italian concept cars of the seventies. The models helped to capture the complete insanity of it all. My heart yearns to have today be the future where everyone drives those cars.
