The XXX would be the one to copy due to it's status as a masterpiece of mid-20th century machine age design, but isn't that what they basically DID do? The Platinum looks quite similar to the art deco machine age and looks very nice to me and most others. I think they did a remarkable job of managing to look simultaneously modern and vintage. |

Combine the vw iconicness with the Lux xxx iconicness and market the two ... Experience the retro vw and experience the retro Lux xxx Or something like this. Somehow. I think the two products and experiences with each of them could feed from each other. Any other open ideas you may want to add to this ? |

It is a great idea. But there might not be enough market to make a profit, much less make back the cost of manufacture. I wish they would bring back the Eldorado and Riviera in a retro look, downsized with current systems and matched Electroli in the trunk, but I might be the only one to buy them. It would be nice to have a NEW "Electrolux" with retro styling that is well made and STURDY with a trade in incentive like " trade in your broken plastic wheel for $400 off the new Electrolux ". Let's build a factory Brad. :)

Wow that's a great looking 1205 in your pic pnluxconvlvr. That color I could get into. Turquoise and black look futuristic together. |

I couldn't agree more. I'd love to see the personal luxury coupe make a comeback besides the Cadillac CTS coupe. IMHO when Buick introduced the all-new 1995 Buick Riviera they made it so butt-ugly almost as if they wanted it to have a hasty demise. I really hope some vac manufacturer comes out with a retro-inspired model soon. The new Constellation was wonderful, and ended all too soon with the TTI takeover. I was hoping to see a retro Dial-A-Matic or a new Celebrity. Imagine if the new connie had a finger-tip on/off switch in the hose like the model 87?
