They don't make them like this anymore. From the San Marino Motor Classic at Lacy Park in San Marino, California.

Captured with Fuji X-T20 and 16-55 lens. Adjusted in Lightroom and finished in Photoshop with Topaz Adjust. Topaz really brings out hidden tones and colors of the image.


Certainly a classic, but makes me think, what was GM thinking with that design. But I guess back in the late 50’s, that was in vogue.

My all time favorite car when I was a kid. Nice shot. Would love to have seen the entire car.

Nicely shot "rgrenaderphoto!" Here is a 56 Caddy shot with a Fuji XT3, 35MM F2.0 SOOC.

Yes, they and other airplane inspired works of art were incorporated in car design; it was an adventurous time.

The perverted thought passed thru my head... briefly... the thought was to take all the "interesting" parts and combining them in one car. One end these jet plane air flow stabilizer tail fins the other end perhaps the pointed Studebaker. I am referring to the 1950-1951 models, a.k.a. the “bullet nose” or “airplane” Studey.

When the Trump second term administration reopens the Studebaker plant in Southbend Indiana, just to spite Mayor Pete, such creations will be possible. I do not want my country back, I want my classic car design back... they were beautiful [?]

There was just a popup for the 2019 Cadillac Escalade... oh my ! !... front grill inspired by the Edsel Ford grill.
Yes, they and other airplane inspired works of art... (show quote)


Where have the designers gone? ALL the new cars, from Hundai to Cadillac have the same ugly silhouette from the side. I owned a Caddy Limo of that period and it was overwhelmingly classy.

Yes it was an Ugly car, but us old folk make great photo subjects.

The 50's, everything was space age and aircraft inspired.
