[ REMAKING A CLASSIC ]


Posted by SheOne on February 23, 2008 7:49 PM | Email


A huge element of streetwear is about using a classic item (tried and tested / familiar ) and rebrandingit in current company graphics for the contempory mindest. On a slighly higher level than sticking a logo on a chuck taylor low and only making it available on a japanese website Car builder Bo Zolland took a Volvo 1966 Amazon 2 Door (a classic ) as its the base. The front and grille are little modified due to identification visibility, and a custom grille and roof were fabrcated. The car has a Volvo 2004 S-80 T-6 engine/trans and rear wheel drive, modern brakes etc. Air ride suspension and a mix of modern Volvo and Vette components in chassis. This was commissioned by a Californian car collector, and the result is fantastic. Inspiring stuff.
