However, Beau Boeckmann appears to deviate from the rest. Instead of going way forward, he preferred to recede in the era where automotive twang in similarity but in utmost elegance. In other terms, he desires to explore in an era where the past becomes the future, the classic becomes the contemporary.
Then came 2008, a fulfillment of this dreams paved the long wait of the designer and Galpin Auto Sports (GAS) president Beau Boeckmann. This year, Scythe, a customized GT Convertible 2008 Ford Mustang came into existence. It is created with an edgy structure and sleek finish and is also considered by its brainchild as a Kustom Kar, not a custom car. This serves as an existing proof of an inspiration that can be traced back on the period of George Barris, designer of Bruce Wayne’s most famous vehicle.
As a car that is created to pass through roads of modern days, of course, GAS did not leave it deprived of this age’s technology as it also came with a hand-made composite body, voice control (a talking onboard computer), and, props to drive-by-wire technology, dual retractable steering wheels and a twin-supercharged 1,005 horsepower engine.
Nonetheless, the raising eye brows of others are still inevitable when faced with designs like this. But Boeckmann still intends to pursue on giving the past era of automotive a larger chance these days and in the future.
