Watching Hagerty TV and the show ?Chip Foose Draws?? and he sketched his design for a Delorean. Basically changing the front and rear. Not crazy about the look. Here are some photos.

Saw that a couple years ago. Not a fan. Side note: met him at Autorama in Detroit 19 years ago and he autographed my carbon RS4 engine cover. I still have the cover.

I saw that years ago too. The back didn?t look bad, but not keen on the front. I thought it was completely stupid the way he wanted to straighten the front of the door. That?s one of my favorite design points on the car. (Hexagon from the side)

Chip Foose is a has-been.

Chip Foose is a has-been.
Fun fact - "Foose," as it sounds in Arabic, means "fart."

That's exactly what his "drawing" looks like.

Exactly. Don't mess with the perfection of Giugiaro.

Nice job Mark.:cheers: The back end of Chips rendition reminded me of a 1960's Oldsmobile Toronado.

I don't know. I think Mark perfected the car with 5 lugs vs 4. :-)

I'm so glad you pointed that out.
The choice between 4 lug and 5 lug wheels is a great example of the many tough design choices that artists like Chip and myself agonize over when creating our renderings.
In this case I felt the 5 lug wheels better highlighted the smooth and muscular flow that I was looking to achieve.
Look guys! I can Chip Foose too!

Reminds me of the 6000 Sux from Robocop.
