Time-Travelling Retro Cars

Bo Zolland T-Bird Takes Retro Back to the Future

The upcoming Bo Zolland T-Bird is another example of why the brilliant designer is a master of custom innovation.

As demonstrated in this collection of rendered images, what makes the Bo Zolland T-Bird interesting is that it is a 1955 nostalgic blast from the past imprinted on top of a 2009 model -- all at the request of one of his clients.

The project is a beacon of hope for other admirers of classic automobiles who might not have the resources or means to acquire originals.
