I love old cars and trucks. Style has radically changed over the years. Who knows where the inspiration for some designs came from.

We can see here that the very cool 1941 IH semi was inspired by the lowly grasshopper

I was at the old Connor Assembly plant yesterday, where they used to build the Viper. It is full of concept cars, old cars and all sorts of stuff. It's amazing some of the cool stuff that should have been built in production, but never was.

Aerospace program influenced a lot of the designs back in the 50s and 60s too. The manufacturers also had themes for their model names as well.

The new Alfa Romeo looks like it was inspired by the Edsel.
