2054??

I am a huge fan of Philip K. Dick.

There are no surprises. Cars from this era are more difficult to model: the absence of protruding edges, the lack of data and photos... It would take me much longer. But it's clear that the 1938 Hispano Suiza Dubonnet Xenia, the 1936 Peugeot 402 N4X, the 1937 DELAGE V12 Labourdette, the 1937 Lancia Aprilia aerodinamica .... would be exciting to model, but frankly too much eccentric for NFS, even for me. Apart from PsychedelicRock, whom I salute if he's around, no one has really tackled these decades.
What I'm proposing is personal and corresponds to cars I've come across in exhibitions, museums and historic races that pass by my home. they are imprinted on my retina. That's why there are almost no American cars. They don't mean anything to me.

I have this kind of collection, but it spreads from 1952 to 2054, from the unique model to the very small series.
Gathering the photos takes time....

2054.....I think I know which one you mean.    I'm glad you mentioned 1950's, the Lincoln Futura is one of them I love.

Surprised of no 1930's or 1940's. I thought you might like the Chrysler Airflow for example.

Hmm, maybe this isn't such a good idea, but looking again at those beautiful cars from the previous page with that collection, I was thinking, why not the same with Concept Cars/Rare cars? I'm curious to see what kind of these concept/rare cars you like.

Also, great work on updating the Peugeot Oxia. It looks lovely!

Ah, Dodge Dynasty..When I lived in Zeigler one of my Cousins had one..Funny thing with it..It had no brake/tail lights..So his father in law rigged up a seich and put it on the dash, When ever you'd come to a STOP sign just flip the switch, Then when you're moving again flip it back 🤣..He got pulled over and was busted driving on a suspended license one time and I had to go over to the P.D. and get his car and drive it back to his house for him so it wouldn't go to impound. Some years later I had to do this again but this he had Dodge Colt stick shift, I told the cop I can't drive a stick and he's like 🙄..I'll follow ya bud..well after much Rrrps, jumps, and stalls I got it there and the cop was like 🤣.

omg best story Paul. Thanks for that. I'm totally jealous that you've driven a Dynasty once. I wonder how's the handling been

It handled great but as I said it had no brake/tail lights, had to activate those separate via the rigged up toggle switch which was nothing more than a household wall switch wired up to them 🤣. I miss that car, It was a deep dark Silver Blue color.

Another dead fart of my melancholy/nostalgia brain: The 1992 Chrysler Dynasty from Richard P:

- Centered the car.fce. It's wheels have been a bit underneath the road surface
- Completely revamped carp.txt. Used the following for a fix: https://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/1992/683690/dodge_dynasty_3_0l_v-6_automatic.html
- Removed the Pursuit Chevy Camaro's fedatas and duplicated the one Richard p has made
- Added a video wall out of the 2 pics Richard has set up as a mod website picture on nfs-cars.com (nfscars.net)

Unfortunately, it doesn't have a driver and steering wheel. When i'll ever be able to add parts and UV map them, this might get an update.
There's also been a 2.5L 4 cylinder, but as it seems the most common engine+transmission has been the above one with the link

After reading his readme.doc, i've totally seen myself in this car mod. I've once owned a wine red Golf 3 Variant 1.6L, it was about in the same physical state as his Chrysler, the clear coat's been missing from all over the parts, it's had it's flaws in general, but it could bring me from A to B and it was a beautiful car to drive due to it's age. Like a good wine One day, i want to create my car (which i don't have anymore due to it having had too much rust (RIP) for nfs4 just like Richard p has done)

Here's the original version with additional description which is not present in the archive's readme.doc:
