Tell me this doesn't look familiar This $13 Million Rolls-Royce Took Four Years to Build

 

Crossfire looks a lot better! That car is UGLY! YUCK!

 

It does have a boat tail rear end or Kamm-tail that started in the 30's.

 

Yes, I thought it had a lot of Crossfire elements. But maybe they copied the 1972 Buick Riviera, an even older car with a boat tail almost identical......

 

Or even earlier, the 1950 Buick Special Fastback. ( my sister had one of these, 8 cyl inline, engine was about 10 feet long and had to weigh over 2000 pounds itself. )
Some interesting features :
Had 'door closer' type shocks.
Was 6v, the radio had a 'vibrator' to generate A/C.
2 speed Dynaflow, shifted to high about 60, then just kept going. I've seen 130 MPH.
Had at least 5000 lbs of torque.

 

Its just a shape you do not have to copy anything, Nothing is new it has all been done before.

I heard this joke.
The first wall in the US to be built will go all the way down the East coast, it will not be called a wall they will call it a Levee. That will stop New York and places like it looking like Venice.

Remember you heard it here first.

It is all just fake news or a hoax anyway.

 

I'm surprised the 1950 Buick Special Fastback had such a large curved rear window in one piece.

I seem to recall reading that back in the early Fifties, putting a big curve, in a large piece of glass was either hard to accomplish optically, or that it was very expensive. I understood it to be the reason most of the cars back then would have a 3-piece back window when it had a big curve. It was not just a style thing to have the sectioned-window.
That one-piece window really makes that Buick Special a remarkable styled car for the time.

Looking at pictures of the 1971 and 1972 Riviera's again, I didn't realize they also had a distinct center crease down the trunk and roof, like the Crossfire. There's even a line down the center of the rear window, like the Crossfire concept car. Maybe Crossfire drew some inspiration from this car also.

 

1972 Riviera

 

That Roller looks bloody awful imo. £13 mill - they are taking the pi$$

 

You can be sure that any 'cup holder' holds the champagne glasses without crushing them.

 

What about the caviar holder though?.......
