once i was driving when suddenly i saw a car that looked as if coming out of a dream. it was only a flash, and then it vanished into the traffic. it took a long time to see another alike. and still i see 1 once in a blue moon. at the time my life kept me at more urgent issues, but that image remained. until in recent time i was able to spend a few minutes searching for it. when i found it, i learned that it is the crossfire. the coupe. the most beautiful car i ever saw. and when i learned that, for some unfathomable reason, it is affordable to me, i had to buy 1. luckily i found 1 in pretty good shape, so now am a happy owner of the most fantastic car ever.
yes, there is the convertible version that is the most beautiful convertible, but to me, the coupes shape is the 1 that i dream of.
and the style is just what i have been longing for since i learned of cars of the wonderful days of the art deco, like the bugatti atlantic, or the lago talbot, and in more recent days, the jaguar xke...you got the idea...sedans...
and speaking of art deco, here is a description:
"Art Deco, also called style moderne, movement in the decorative arts and architecture that originated in the 1920s and developed into a major style in western Europe and the United States during the 1930s. Its name was derived from the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, held in Paris in 1925, where the style was first exhibited. Art Deco design represented modernism turned into fashion. Its products included both individually crafted luxury items and mass-produced wares, but, in either case, the intention was to create a sleek and antitraditional elegance that symbolized wealth and sophistication.
