"Finest designs in automotive history." Say what?
Granted, Dr Porsche came up with an easy to stamp out design to put the masses on wheels, in the '30s. But that's because the masses weren't very discerning or demanding.
Personally, I'd rather have a gas gage or functional heater than a bud vase, but it was a step up from a donkey cart.
The wire frame creation has also been done with wrought iron.
I think you'd need a windshield but other than that it would be street legal.
