NEU-VINTAGE SCION tC by EDDIE HAHM
LOCATION: Central Hall, #20703 |
Background
The purpose behind this build was to bring forth a different perception of what a "tuner" can be—a "crossover" of sorts. The style harkens back to a time when genuine craftsman ship, "coach-building" and passion dictated what a finished build should look like. Taking cues from the salt flat race cars of early Bonneville, World War II aircraft inspiration that was so prevalent in post war hot rods and high dollar (Pebble Beach anyone?) pre-war, coach-built automobiles of the 1930's, this build blends vintage with modern mechanics onto a Scion tC. The term "tuner" has become synonymous with a particular look, style and type of build, but this car will shatter all previous stereotypes.
