AOB

Hi everyone,

I am happy to start my new company on Automation and share my first design with you all!

The company does not have a full story yet, and this will be updated by editing this thread later on. Until now, the only information available are the following:
- Company name: AOB
- Foundation year: 1951
- Country of origin: Italy

The "AOB Grinta F" (1955) is the very first car produced by AOB, a two seater, relatively affordable, sports car.
For now, I would just like to share this automobile with you and, especially, ask for suggestions of any type! I am open to everything, also, I would like to know your opinions! Please forgive me for the bad quality graphics of the following pictures, but for now I am forced to work and play on my laptop, which is not ideal.

Thank you and enjoy!

Re: AOB

I really like the front end, but the tail lights bother me. Great car.

Re: AOB

Thanks! Yes I can imagine, I had quite a clear idea when designing the front end, however for the rear I had to iterate until I found the design that I liked most and fitted best the era. But I can understand your thoughts!

Re: AOB

I'd totally buy this car if this car exist! Like the design but the rear disturbs me.
This guy owns a car company called Jeffur Automobiles not like that guy from the other side , he must called them thousand time.

Re: AOB

The front reminds me of a Cisitalia. Not sure what to think on the rear, though. Never seen it done that way before.

Re: AOB

@HybridTronny: thx, it's good to hear! Yes, the rear end seem to be a problem from what I hear, I will make more versions of the Grinta with updated aesthetics.

@Tunerguy: I see, I will look into Cisitalia, seen it before but cannot remember its design features. The front end is something I always had in mind, I will keep most of my cars with this elliptical grille style. Regarding the rear end, yes I realized it is not much appreciated apparently.. It will probably be updated in future versions of the model!
