Cool Cars - What Is Hot and What Is Not
by: Charlie Cory
What is at the heart of cool cars everywhere? Is it the
speed they can travel at? Is it the thought of the wind brushing your hair?
If it's the latter, then you have a soft top (convertible), or someone's
pinched your roof!
Well, it could be either of these things. Or perhaps cool cars mean
something else to you entirely. But to me, it is the shape of the car. Not
so much cool cars but cool curves ... Sexist? Perhaps, but true none the
less. I think I classic car is defined by it's architecture.
Look at any sports models over the years. What has defined them, made them
stand out? Ok, the price is one thing, but take a step back and really think
about what makes a hot car so cool?
There is something else that makes a car cool, at least as far as I am
concerned. And that is the interior. Or to be more precise, what the
interior is made of. My first car lives in my memory to this day, and surely
that is the mark of a cool car. I can remember the smell of the leather
seats and look of the wooden dash surround. Plastic just doesn't cut it,
especially not in more mass produced models.
And it had curves!
So what else puts the cool into a car for you?
For me personally, low is cool. The closer I am to the ground, the better I
feel. Some people like to have a high vantage point, and perhaps that is
cool to them. It certainly helps to have a better view of the road from a
practical point of view.
For many, the colour of a car defines its 'cool'. Red is often the colour to
fuel associated with the hottest cars around (not surprisingly really). But
what about black? There is something mystical about jet black automobiles,
don't you think? To some, an unusual colour is the height of chic as far as
a car is concerned. You might not like bright yellow or lime green, but your
will always notice them, won't you. And to some folk, that is all that is
required from a cool car.
