If there’s a car made that HarborIndiana can’t photochop into a town car, he hasn’t seen it. Yet while he makes sure every car can be chauffeur driven, as we’ve seen in a couple previous looks at his work, he’s also been busy adding rather than subtracting visual heft to cars, as we can see with the Buick above, a car with all the right Sixties shapes and some Fifties flair that complements its lines.
Another Sixties Buick that he and fellow ‘chopper Tyler Linner stretched like taffy. Lines that go on for miles.
He calls this one Imperius Maximus. We think Peter Paul Rubens would approve.
Had Packard not switched to a Studebaker platform in the late Fifties, would it have looked something like this formal and semi-sporting coupe?
Not all of his recent ‘chops follow the bigger-is-better philosophy, however. Take the LaFayette and La Salle coupes above, very European interpretations of traditional American cars – not quite sports cars, but still low, racy, and sleek.
Simply shifting the cockpit of an FMR Tiger rearward (and removing anything to give a sense of scale) almost makes it look like a baby pre-war Mercedes-Benz.
Doing the exact opposite to a mid-Seventies Chevrolet Caprice results in a Deora-like cab-forward “what-the-hell Camino.”
And finally (for now), perhaps HarborIndiana’s most ambitious photochop to date, a dropped, chopped, and anti-sectioned 1958 GMC pickup amid an counter-Rockwellian scene. Make of it what you will.
