4. Looks like visibility is going to be near zero from inside. Retrofit it with auto-drive once that's

available.

5. And electric hybrid drive from an F-150 Lightning

My bet is the drive motors from Ford Lightning trucks are going to be in demand from folks wanting to restore large classic cars and also have them run clean.

8. This looks very much like an Italian design.

Specifically an Alfa Romeo of the early 1920s. I will look for a photo... I seem to remember that the Alfa had more windows.

Edit to add: Actually was from 1914 which was shortly before Nicolo Romeo bought the A.L.F.A. company (Anonima Lombarda Fabrique Automobili).

There is a description and photo here. I can't seem to upload the photo I found.

I didn't know that it was possible to make curved glass that far back.
