BMW Garmisch

BMW have brought to life a long-lost concept by Marcello Gandini, one of the grandmasters of car design. He was responsible for legendary cars like the Lamborghini Miura and Countach, or the Lancia Stratos. Presented at the Geneva Motor Show in 1970, the gorgeous Garmisch was never seen again, until now. The painstakingly created reproduction was built under the stewardship of BMW Group design head Adrian van Hooydonk, it features a clean side profile that is not unlike most other sedans of the period, a signature BMW kidney grille, squared headlamps, and a honeycomb-patterned mesh over the rear window, a trademark of Gandini´s style. The whole thing was covered with a light champagne metallic color and the interior evokes the bold styling of the era with details like a vertical radio on the center console and a large fold-out mirror for the passenger. The one-off is being moved to the BMW Museum in Munich. Now that is a shame, because this is one cool as hell car. watch the video below

Jeep Five-Quarter

For the 53rd annual off-road fan fest in Moab, Utah, Jeep has collected a bunch of sweet pickup-truck concepts to celebrate the return of the famous Gladiator pickup truck. But, the star of the show, is the only one not based on a current Gladiator pickup or Wrangler, it is instead this beastly custom based on the 1968 Jeep M715 military truck. The Jeep M-715 Five-Quarter started out as a Craigslist purchase, which was stripped to the bare bones, keeping all the cla...
