50 Years Difference, yet styling hasn't changed much!

Ran accross a picture of the old 507...this one is a 1957. I've never seen one and haven't look at a picture of one since I was a kid.

Here it is with my Z4MC...Beautiful!

The idea of the Z4 was to recreate the 507 in a modern way.

The 507, Isetta, are two of the old really old "classic" cars I wouldn't mind having.

in all fairness the 507's theme was the center of the design for the Z8 and not the Z4,

I agree...all I thought of was the Z8 when I saw the first pic.

Starscream,

You are correct and I did compare the two also, but I wanted a coupe and with the hardtop on the Z8, it just messes it up. Oh and I don't own a Z8
