"Now if we could make a good small car for the average man—A Model T for for the 21st Century (or a VW Bug for American Trump Age) Maybe a 3 wheeler? Or car like the old Metropolitan of the 50s?"

I've had an idea (for decades now) to go to Brazil and manufacture a spanking new 1957 Chevrolet with only the necessary pollution control modifications.

I've floated that idea for about twenty years but no one picked up on it.

Imagine the car or your dreams (like the '57 Chevy) made with all brand new modern materials and technology but retaining the original (ABSOLUTE ORIGINAL, NONE OF THAT STYLIZED JIT !) look and features (AM/FM radio with modern speaker system(s) etc.)

I honestly think there is a market for them.

I’d like to the old CJs and a few pickups go the same route.
