It litterally isn't, unless you are single-handedly changing the definition of "aŕt"
@tommygatch Жыл бұрын
definition of art "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." It took human creative skill to design the car. Back when this car was designed, I believe they still sculpted a model out of clay. I am pretty sure this car is being appreciated for its beauty. By the sounds of it, the owner/restorer does have a fairly emotional tie to the car. I'm sure it would stir emotions in others that may have a memory of this car from their earlier years. So yeah, it could be defined as art.

As a kid, my dad bought a (used) '57 Imperial. Dad let my mom drive it home-he'd drive the '54 Ford 6-cylinder station wagon home after work. She'd never driven a car so powerful, so when she got on the freeway onramp, which had a 90º turn in it-she did what she always did in the station wagon, floored it. Needless to say, she did a 270, scared the heck out of her. She got the car straightened out, and we all made it home, all in one piece! I was 5 or 6, and thought the whole thing was fun.

First of all, the finish of the restoration is very wonderful. The abundant use of chrome gives it a beautiful and luxurious feel. Is the tail fin a symbol of the golden age of American cars in the 50's? It looks like a Cadillac from around the same time. The push button transmission is an innovative idea. It's surprising that the latest car has a switch instead of a shift lever, but did this car foresee the future? Hahaha

Not a Chrysler Imperial. Dennis should know this and so should the owner. And if he did he should have corrected Dennis. Imperial was its own brand. Just like Edsels where their own brand. They were not Ford Edsels and this was not a Chrysler Imperial. On the flip side this is one beutifull car and an absolutely fabulous restoration. The only beef i have with the owner is that he never drives it. Why even have it if you cant enjoy driving it. These cars were built to be driven. Restored my wifes 70 plymouth about 12 years ago we take to shows every year, but we also drive it all summer. Yes because of that it needs to be done again soon, but enjoying a car you built by driving it is well worth it. Love a good restoration of any car but not a fan of trailor queens.
