Edstock Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2010/01/designer-creates-ford-model-t-of-21st.html To see more pictires, follow the link. Designer Attempts to Create a 21st Century Ford Model T With the goal of creating a modern-day car that shares the simplicity and other qualities as well as certain design elements with the original Model T, Brazilian designer Eduardo Oliveira came up with this compact crossover. Oliveira's well executed design does bring to mind the Model T from certain angles (in a much more convincing way than the winners of Ford's Model T competition in 2008), but we could do without the gaudy front grille. Styling elements that hark back to the original model include the pronounced wheel arches that encompass the wheels that are pushed out to the corners of the vehicle as well as the opposite angle of the lower part of the rear hatch that houses the spare tire. Designed to be around 4.2 meters or 165-inches in length, the five-seater crossover model gets suicide-style rear doors and two exterior storage compartments located on either side of the bumper.

Mark B. Morrow Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thankfully, automotive styling has progressed a good bit since 1908. I see what the designer was trying to do but the Model T cues just don't translate to today's sense of beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

battyr Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Looks like a good car to sell in South America, Africa, and India. Hell, sell it everywhere. The Europeans might even buy it. Just give it a good ground clearance and a rugged suspension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
