David godoy mato lmao

[@baileyplays7862]

Yes there on Netflix

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

2 favourite car designers, Virgil exner and Michelotti. And whoever designed those 1950s-80s citeroens, they deserve an award.

[@TheDejael]

Exner Excellence! He should have had two built - one for the company, and one for himself.

[@johnbehneman1546]

WOW!!!! IT IA ALSO INFLUENCED BY FERRARI. WITH THE BRIGHT RED COLOR. AND THE WOOD SPOKE STEERING WHEEL. THIS CAR WAS ADVANCED THINKING FOR ITS TIME!!!! I WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT IN PERSON!!!!

[@fadyayass6431]

Gotham garage has nothing to do with this ! This is the only one built and was saved from Beirut during the civil war by a lebanese guy. Sent to RM in Canada where it went for full rebuilt. It was then shown in Amelia island and featured by Jay Leno. It was later sold at RM auctions for $935k. Check out jay Leno talking to the Lebanese owner.

That would have been my thoughts exactly, it was only for the Netflix series Car Masters Rust to Riches, which that didn't count. They had to build a 1960 Plymouth XNR at the Gotham Garage for the Peterson Automotive Museum.

[@AutoweekUSA]

It was designed to, yes. (You can read the car's full story at the link posted in this video's description.)

[@donovandelaney3171]

I would bring the Plymouth XNR into production and replace the gas engine with an electric engine.

[@AutoweekUSA]

Yes - the XNR will go up for sale at RM's auction in Monterey later this month. It's expected to fetch over $1 million.

[@jacquespoirier9071]

it was the time where automakers had no fear to lead, today, they copy each others and a car is not a car but a computer on wheels

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

Then again though, 1950s cars were going computerised around 1957-59 (push button gears so on)

[@jacquespoirier9071]

@@isaacsrandomvideos667 on the chrsler models, the pushbutton gearshift was completely mechanixal, the transmission was shifted by Teleflex style cables

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

@@jacquespoirier9071 example. What I mean is like if the 1950s just went on for a little longer, the would also be filled with computers. (Bit like fallout.) My point isn’t really much of a valid point though.

[@mikeisgonzo]

[@Kit_Bear]

No seatbelts, Wing mirrors, Reversing lights or fog lights. And this is supposed to be driven on the road? I hate to imagine what I don't see. I'll pass. I like to drive what I have. What's the point in owning it if you can't use it.

[@neildougherty3377]

The paint is terrible they need to hire a painter they must murder them with buffers and they still look like shit car is way far from museum quality
