Although Prince eloquently described the aura of the car in his famous song, he was a little late in coming to the party which officially began in the early fifties. The Stingray was the ultimate sex symbol on wheels. It drew crowds. It was rare and gorgeous. As kids, we drooled and dreamed as it passed us by. The split window was the rarest version of the car with it’s extraordinary backend. It has become an icon. An example of timeless design. When you see one today, time stops. You begin to wax nostalgic about drive-ins, diners, and- Where did the years go?
I am always delighted in the presence of such sculptural beauty as it reinforces the notion that good design, good art if you will, can transcend, and actually transport us to another time.
