Weirdness is like my oxygen sometimes.
Did a lot of shopping today, as the weather was nice and I hated the idea of sitting between two TVs, one showing football and the other showing golf and both of them with the volume a little too loud. Wound up getting four boxes of herbal tea and a couple things for my brother for housewarming/upcoming birthday.
Anyway, I was in a Tuesday Morning discount store and saw a coffee table book on celebs who collect cars. Race cars, luxury cars, rare cars...and one fellow who is into concept cars. He has this machine in his collection:
The Chrysler D'Elegance, built by Ghia in the early Fifties along with other Chrysler concepts and stylewise the father of the VW Karmann Ghia.
Didn't buy the book but perhaps I may go back for it someday. When I got back here I got to looking through pictures of other such concept cars from that and other eras, not just online, but in a book I bought when I was a cashier at a Borders bookstore. One weirdness idea of mine would be to artistically backdate the history of GM's Saturn marque, as if it existed in those decades instead of Oldsmobile or LaSalle or some other brand of the times. Take some features of the current Saturn cars and some features of the Motorama concept cars and some features that production cars had and breed some hybrids.
I'm already thinking up names for spurious cars, mainly based on the moons of the planet Saturn and the Titans of classical mythology, as well as temporal terminology (as Saturn, as the Greek character Cronus, was the master of time).
Moonshine has job security...but I can dream about having a weird car.
