This mid-century modern mashup works better than you might think carscoops
The results were a little surprising to me, but they do work quite well. Starting with what I believe to be the design that looks older, the red, jet-age-and-chromium design of this sleek Model S looks like something straight off the concept car turntable of a 1950s auto show.Somewhere between the flying saucer spaciness of the Citroën DS and the big-winged designs indicative of GM’s thinking at the time, this ’50s Model S looks pretty good.
The bubbly canopy, meanwhile, does a pretty good job of combining the design of the times with the distinctive window lines of a modern Tesla. And while seem to incorporate the automaker’s lack of grille, they’re also seemingly bereft of headlights, which feels like a problem.Skipping forward a few years, the AI machine created something that looks like it belongs in an early ’60s showroom. Unable to avoid the grille here, this—let’s call it “second-generation”—Model S borrows some cues from Aston Martin, while also incorporating some Maserati 5000 GT lines, and there’s something almost Ford Anglia-esque about the roofline.
Although there’s something a little uncanny about both of these designs, they do kind of work. While it’s unlikely that an electric car could have taken on the automotive industry in the late ’50s and early ’60s the way Tesla did in the 2010s, it’s still fun to think what it might have looked like if it had tried.
