Art & Inspiration Ever see a car that just takes your breath away?

I totally second Dick Falk's '40 (the first one in the group of 3 above).

 

just about any thing aj watson or eddie kuzma built pretty much leave me amazed, i don't think function and style have ever gone together as well as when these guys were involved.

Maybe I missed it, but I cant believe no one has put up Emerald Tide, the Weesner inspired hand formed aluminum with green flake pick up?!?!

 

Whatever happened to that t-bird? That car was sooooo cool. I remember seeing it at the KKOA event in Wichita back in 2000. Same guy built or owned a killer '55 Chrysler too. I haven't seen either car since then. Great choice!

 

Am I the only one thinking - Merc. ?
Whats the history? This is gunna be cool....

I would love to have this 55 in my garage. I think it would go great with my truck. I love the look and the nostalgia memories it stirs up in me.

It would be another mustard and ketchup thing in my garage too.

This L29 Cord is referred to as the Saknoffsky Coupe as it was designed by
Count Alexis de Saknoffsky. It is a very interesting car.
