Here are some pics from a car show I went to today. It's called "Eyes on Design", put on by AutoWeek magazine. It was at the Ford mansion in St. Clair Shores, MI and its theme is "Aerodynamics and Streamlining". It had a huge variety of cars, with a lot of rarities in the mix.

Here is that 1/3 scale running model of the Ferrari 312PB that was posted from YouTube on here a while ago:

holy ****! that 1/3 ferrari is just :drool::drool::drool:

some of my favorite cars in there just donno where to begin :drool:
 
Seen quite a few of those cars (not the exact ones), but the Noble, Porsche, a few Ferrari's and some of the Lambo's around the sub and at Meadowbrook CC- Even saw some new Mercedes that I would bet many haven't seen before- But some of those are just rediculous haha, and that old Bugatti is unbelievable! Those pictures are extremely nice too.

I like the full CF Subaru too, although many I believe will think it's tacky
 
That Testarossa is just :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: :drool: ..... I love them... I really like that toyota concept car too!

I agree- Theres a few of those around me, but that Toyota is unreal.. I like the Jaguar too, that's definetly not something many people see EVER
 
If you're talking about the car below, it is the Cadillac Sixteen, with a V16 engine making ~1000 hp.

Something I thought was funny at the show was the steering column/wheel of the Mosler. It's the exact same as my WRX!
100_1301.jpg

And the car for reference:
100_1302.jpg
 
The Mosler almost looks like a Saleen S7 in some weird way--

That 'Caddy is real sweet, but, I don't think anyone would ever buy that but a select few (obviously that term goes a long way now-a-days)-- Jay Leno maybe? Just so he can say he has one? I don't know, it's real sweet but, I don't see many people buying an extended car like that (for however much they ask for it, even though not produced), with 1000HP
 
what is that really futuristic Oldsmobile called? I remember having a model of that car as a kid. I assume the one at the show was the only one made
 
The Mangusta is additionally unique for its lack of side mirrors. Great looking car.
