If your sort of my age around 40-50 you will probably remember this... It was a hot wheel car that was in next to every second childrens room around in the 60s and beginning of the 70´s It was based on a car named Silhouette.Based on a hot rod that was costructed by Bill Cushenbery. He won the hot rod competition at that time with it. Of all the bubble shaped cars we see in todays design... this was sort of the grandfather .... !:D I tried to not copy that car but instead to make a nouvu version of it that I would want it to look like. Heres some further reading on the original hot rod.... http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/1/silhouette-movie-stills/ this is from this short : http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=1LDPSyptkQY and see this : http://public.fotki.com/Rikster/11_car_photos/beautiful_custom_cars/1/silhouette/ http://www.showrods.com/gallery_pages/silhouette.html For the hot wheels see this link !
