I keep seeing more and more futuristic tail-lights on UK roads at night.
Here for instance is a Lexus with its snazzy and hypnotic red strip.
But the old designers had it taped.
Check out the lamps on this American icon, the Mercury Cougar.
Not bad I hear you say.
Well let's talk business and check out the awesomeness of the Lancia Stratos Zero.
Its the rear end of the century with strip lighting all the way round.
and even more candela on the modern remake's back light.
But for luminous cool we can do no better than look into the big and small screen for true illumination.
The Spinner in Blade Runner 2049.
and the non-lit magnificence of Straker's car from UFO
and the crown of all rears, UFO's Forster's car.
A curvaceous louvred marvel!
Have you any futuristic car backs or space-age tail lights readers?
I do not have the Back to the Future DeLorean, but I wish I had! Would take it back to the Sixties!
ReplyDeleteYep, good call Arto!
DeleteI see some pretty amazing cars here in Los Angeles, but they're so cool that I can't even identify them! 😏
ReplyDeleteha ha, it must be a great place to spot super cars Baron!
DeleteSpeaking of which, saw two today that stood out. https://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/ODAzWDEyODA=/z/ARsAAOSw~t5iYxZ7/$_57.JPG?set_id=2 and https://www.corvsport.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/1975-corvette-lot-s58-kc-auction-18-1539272419847@2x-1536x865.jpg Pretty sweet.
DeleteMe personally no futuristic car in our driveway - but this being Vegas, we do see all manner of futuristic looking (and expensive) cars. One day - way back in the mid-90s we had to take Bettina's '75 (?) Super Beetle to a nearby beetle repair shop called 'The Beetle Barn' and sitting out front was one of the prop, bubble top cars from Woody Allen's "Sleeper"! The car body was made to fit over a Beetle chassis so the owner had brought it there for repairs.
ReplyDeleteha ha, what a great niche car to spot Ed!
