Revival Cars
In the Esquire issue of December 1963, Virgil M. Exner presented the design-suggestions for the "Revival Cars".
Exner took four great names of American automobile history and tried to show how they would look in the mid sixties.
The four names were:
Stutz
All these pictures are scans of "Renwal"-toys.

Duesenberg
The Duesenberg design showed the most puristic design
elements of the thirties.

In 1966 there was a real try to establish a new
Duesenberg, but the design was quite different from the original Exner-Duesenberg
design.
The Stutz production cars borrowed the side-exhausts
and the front design from this car.
Packard
Mercer
The Mercer car was produced on an AC Cobra chassis.
I'm searching pictures to show on my website!!!
Please give me a note when you have seen the car and
have taken some pictures!
Exner presented later also design-suggestions for:
Bugatti
The Bugatti design was realised on the last Bugatti chassis.
Pierce Arrow
Jordan
Almost 40 years later, Exner's
son presented some new Revival Designs:
2004
Stutz
2004 Chrysler
Imperial
2005
LaSalle
