GTP Cool Wall: 1969 Thomas Meade Thomassima III

[Jet Badger]

I doubt you would. Trying to Italianize a clearly non-Italian word is so obvious and pathetic that it's hilarious. Even better when that word is someone's name. It's impossible to take "Thomassima" seriously.

 

[Famine]

More equivalent to the Louis Chevrolet Grande Chevrolet or the Colin Chapman Big Chapman.

Not that those are less ridiculous.

Looks more like it would be the Colin Chapman Most Colin. Or the Trevor Wilkinson Extremely Trevor.

 

[Liquid]

Oui, d'accord.

Louis Chevrolet Tre Louis. Or the Karl Benz Wirklich Mercedes-Benz

 

[PeterJB]

I think it's pretty.

 

[AlvaroF]

It is very pretty and it's a very good custom with Ferrari pinnings. The only uncool thing is that it's located in a museum. I voted SZ but I should voted it Cool

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Not often I go with this rating but that is seriously uncool. A car in which it's only purpose is to stroke the creator's own ego and make it loft to new heights. And this is scarily the third time he's done this. Forget the Egoista, this is probably hedonism at its finest.

Only saving graces are those spiral headers and being mechanically based on a very good car; although, you could argue that cannibalising such a car just to make the owner feel good about his 'design flair' is seriously uncool by its own merits.

TL;DR - the automotive equivalent of this label:

 

[Gallade4751]

Thomassima might be a crap name, but Enzo Ferrari is just "Lawrence Smith" to the italians

 

[Northstar]

First thought: What movie was this car in? Oh, it's not a movie car.

Second thought: It's a car based on a Hot-Wheels design. No, it predated it's Hot-Wheels version.

Seriously Uncool for being hideously ugly with no excuse.

Oddly enough, the Thomassima II actually looks fairly decent, not sure how they managed to screw it up so badly with the sequel.
