    Default Future Corvette concept based on 1959 Roadster

    A former GM designer from Brazil created a series of future concept drawings based on classics. Here is his take on the 1959 Corvette:

    Retired GM Designer Creates Future Concepts Based on Retro Classics





    His other renderings include concepts based on a Jaguar XK 120, 1950 Studebaker Commander and a 1973 Ford Maverick.

    Maybe the guy DID design the Aztek.
    There are times for thinking, and times for acting, but the art is in the balance

    My guess is that's why he's a former GM designer.
    Looks bad, and not in the good way

    I wouldn't go that far.....

    Maybe this is the reason he's a "former" designer.

    Looks like White75 beat me to the punch on the "former" aspect. And I would have to agree with Tuna, this must be the guy responsible for the Aztec and the first Avalanches. those two vehicles almost made me turn into a Ford guy.

    No... that Vette concept isn't a shark. It's more like a hatchetfish.

    Mr. Barros got the color for the car and the backround to match but that is about all.

    His talent is not displayed very well.
