The 1938 Phanton Corsair
(click to embiggen)
Sadly, it was a prototype that never went into production. More information available at this Wikipedia article.
Of course, I would have to add a short mohawk/fin to the roof though. And maybe a little neon embedded in it for that nice “glow”.
Until next time…
F**k, I have never seen a car like that in my life.Mega cool!
Did Wayne Enterprise stole the design?
Le Sigh! Back when they knew how to make cars! I also love the … Atlantics? At least I think that’s the name.
Anything with curves and fenders, baby!
I must have!!
You know, I wonder if after Steampunk and Circuspunk run their courses, we’ll see Decopunk?
@Romach:
It’s definitely a sweet looking ride! They need to make more cars like that… for real life, and not the movies.
@YvesPaul:
I didn’t make that association until you said that. It is very “Batman”-esque, isn’t it?
@cb:
Ah… the Bugatti Type 57. I love the pairing of the curves to the straight lines on both the 1938 Atlantic and the 1936 Coupe.
@Eiain:
Me too!!!
@the replicant:
Steampunk rules. I had to go look up Circuspunk. I’m behind the times… but to me “proper” Deco has never gone out of style.
