That Alpina Supra is an unbelievably good looking car. Hope you keep your What Ifs?!

Hagerty wasn't interested in retaining Abimelec, so I found him an opportunity elsewhere. That being said, I'm hoping to occasionally talk him into a What If? right here on this site.

That’s good news. His concepts fill me with genuine desire. In a saner world, he’d be in Harley Earl’s old job.

Yeah, and he is TWENTY-ONE YEARS OLD, which astounds me every time I think of it.

So they are his concepts? Or do you suggest themes, like an Americanized 80’s kei van marketed to the minituck crowd, as a response to Chysler’s minivan?

I'd say it was about 70/30 his ideas, and even when I suggested something he often took it in an unusual direction. The only thing I ever requested that he execute PRECISELY to my request was the Genesis G90 Coupe.
