Art & Inspiration The Red Hydra Coupe

  1. Still wondering where the "Coupe" part of the car is located. Don't coupes usually have a roof or top?
     
  2. Must be a drophead coupé.

    When will Jay Leno buy it?
     
  4. 30's style cars were kinda fussy with taller bodies, hoods, thin fenders and thin wheels and tires... Whitewalls make them look higher class, but not really mean, unless the tires are bigger, wider.

    Low, wide 50's cars... with tall tires... kinda float on big wide whitewalls... like a shark on the bottom of the ocean.

    BTW, my '46 Ford Tudor has WWW... bigs and littles... I've photoshopped it with blackwalls, and it looks like a taxicab. so it depends on the car.

    Looks like it would be a bear to parallel park!

  8. That's past "menacing"... that's "I'm on a 3 state killing spree... and I'm looking to make it 4."

    Sometimes I'm not so sure that 'splainin it' would make a shred of difference.

    I think the car is pure sex.
    That, and the fact that they seemed to nail the stylings to the era of the movie makes it one heck of a car as well as a rolling piece of art.

    The bad guys in WWII had all the kick ass stuff. That's a cool car. I'd love to see some build pics.
     
  15. Sorry but I'm just not feelin' it. Close but I think the tandem rear axle kills it. I watched the movie too; looks like they spent a shit ton of money on a car that gets about a minuite or so of screen time. No good close ups; could have doctored up an 80's kit car to the same effect. What the Hell, someone had to be a dick!

    It reminded me of Rommels Rod, the old model.

    I've been diggin' on this car for a while but didn't know it would be considered HAMB friendly. The thing is ridiculously long in real life compared to other cars and stuff. I dig the military version the most.
