Ford borrowed the look from the Mercury XM-800 concept car, designed by John Najjar, Ford’s longtime lead designer and co-designer of the Ford Mustang 1 prototype. Some people call it a basket handle, but Ford’s official designation was Bright Metal Roof Transverse Molding. ![]() The stainless-steel tiara used to separate, at least externally, the front and rear passenger’s sections garnered huge praise and media attention. These cars didn’t need to sell many units to make a statement. Of the 626,250 Fairlanes produced in 1955, just 33,165 (barely over 5%) were the highly stylized Crown Vics. However, the Crown Victoria, which was the top of the Fairlane line, did not set sales records. In 1955, the Fairlane lineup replaced the Crestline as the top-trim-level Blue Oval - and it sold and sold. Consumers flocked to the V8 Shoebox Chevys and ate up the “100 Million Dollar Look” (updated to Forward Look in 1956) of Virgil Exner’s Chrysler designs. When buyers went shopping for a new car in 1955, the options were worlds ahead of the recycled designs that bookended World War II.Įach manufacturer displayed major engineering advancements and styling upgrades across their lines. This car, Lot 1055, sold for $28,050, including buyer’s premium, at Russo and Steele’s August 17–19 auction in Monterey, CA. The Cohen-Sutherland algorithm is a fast algorithm for clippingĪ line to the part of it that lies within a specified rectangular window.Tag on left front body pillar below upper hingeġ955 Chevrolet Bel Air, 1955 Chrysler Newport, 1955 Dodge Custom Royal Enter the Cohen-Sutherland line clippingĪlgorithm! Cohen-Sutherland Line Clipping Polygons) and varying in complexity, we’re going to look at a simple one forĬlipping lines within a rectangular window. While there are many clippingĪlgorithms aimed at different shapes (from lines to complex The parts of it that fall within a window. The idea is to be able to clip a shape to only The solution is a general class of algorithms designed for computer graphicsĬalled clipping algorithms. So how do we actually perform these steps? In particular, how do we manage The basic idea is to (i) draw a single line at an arbitraryĪngle, (ii) create parallel copies of it spaced by some user-specifiedĭistance, and finally (ii) clip them off to fall within a specified square. Tiles with random angles and image-based line spacingĭetail of image-based portrait Overview of the Approach Tiles with random angles and Y-axis-based spacing Tiles with noise-based angles and random line spacing Tiles with random angles and random line spacing Tiles with random angles and uniform line spacing ![]() Paul in his plots rather it is simply my interpretation of how I would goĪbout generating something similar. I should point out that I do not know if this is the exact technique used by Style of a single square from the above images. In this post, we’ll look at an algorithm that enables us to recreate the If you tried it yourself, you’ll find that there’s some algorithmic sauce Naturally I sat around noodling away on a Saturday trying to recreate it! Of squares, with lines at arbitrary angles with variations in the spacingĭetail of section showing clipped parallel lines Breaking it Down ![]() ![]() Looking closely at one of his works, one sees that it’s comprised of a grid If you haven’t seen them yet, go check them out over at Over on Twitter and he’s been churning out absolutely beautiful stuff on his I’ve been following the work of Paul Rickards For a copy-pasteable version of the algorithm, click here.
