HAHA! Studebaker XUV. put some TV's in it and drop it on some 26's. It'll look even worse than the rest of the crap that's out now.
05 Studebaker... give me a break

"timeless crap"
"musta been modeled in blender"
....why I hardly take people seriously around here.
The Avanti was designed by Raymond Loewy in the early 60s. The design, especially for that period, was groundbreaking. What's more, the design has been only slightly modified since then - it's timeless - not unlike some of his identity design such as the Shell, Exxon, Nabisco, Lucky Strike logos. But to make such blanket statements as you have, you must have known that and I'm certain that 50 years from now, people will still be talking about your design legacy.

its timeless because he chooses not to get with the times and doesnt mind selling to people that get nostalgic over that stuff but you and i dont remember it it was a time of innocence and naivity before we were born and if a legacy is exxon and lucky strikes then fuck him for killing milions with smoke and millions more over the assistance in the greed for oil
if i die only known for the festival posters ive done and some college alu mni shirts then i am a better man than he
the only reason you know that crap is you read it

cloned... you couldn't have picked a worse example... the mustang?
let us not forget the horrible years that were the mid 70's to pretty much 2005.
i wouldn't say any of the designs during that period even come close to a timeless classic.

I have to agree with clone that the Avanti car is straight ugly. Looks like a Disneyland Futureworld reject. And I've never like Mustangs either though. But isn't that the wonderful thing about art and design? It's so subjective. I mean, what really is the definition of timeless? In the sense that we use it, it would depend upon a explanation as to why it trancends the rules of why we don't think it is limited to a specific time period.
Fuck those ugly cars.
