    Here is a thought exercise for those of you that enjoy old cars and designs. How about the running gear of a HyCam in a 57 through 60 Corvette body. Good looks reasonable mileage and clean running in one package. What are you dream cars with Hybrid Innerds?

    An FJ-40. I'd love to have one of those with an HSD system.

    Hi Blamy,

    The HSD from a Lexus GS-450H might be more appropriate. But you might want to upgrade the front drum brakes on those Corvettes to disks...

    Upgrade to discs all around. A 57 Studebaker Silver Hawk would be sweet with that combo too. Reasonably good aerodynamics also.
