Here are pics of a couple Chip Foose Mustangs I saw on a recent trip to the Sioux Falls, S.D. Ford dealership. I guess they only made around 50 and here are 3 and there was one in the showroom. Sorry I take terrible pictures.

I hate to say it but, doesn't look like they did a real big thought process in developing these cars. Change the paint and rims and slap a "Foose" sticker on them. Sounds like everybody jumping on the Mustang band wagon.

My Husband and I just saw both of them last week end while in Souix Falls . Here I am with Chip Foose this past June at a special benifit he put on through Sioux Falls Ford. Here is just on of his Stallions there for sale and looks like the one that Sioux Falls Ford has for sale now. This was the hight of my summer.

I don't mean to talk down "Hotrodgrany's" great experience with Chip--that's a good thing, and I bet it was a lot of fun, too... but..I have to agree with Don...

In my opinion, I feel that Chip is more a stylist than designer. I haven't seen him design a completly original car from scratch. He went to school at Art Center in Pasadena, which I attended for one semester, and hated it. It's a school for artists to fit into the corporate world. You learn to draw like Syd Mead (i.e. Bladerunner) with color markers. It all looks the same.

What grates me is how Chip took the Horse and Bars logo, and took off the horse, and put his own name there. By comparison, I've met and talked to Gene Winfield, a great car designer from the 60's, that is truly a designer. He did a lot of cars for TV shows, and is an expert at "lead sleds" from the 1950's, too. Gene is low key, and very modest, and doesn't flaunt what he's done. There is a fraternity of automotive artists, designers and craftsmen from the 1960's that perhaps Chip could take some lessons from.

Just my opinion--no disrespect intended.

<~~~~~~Met Gene Winfield at the Rte. 66 San Berdoo show where he had a booth and was inducted into the hall of fame. Very nice lowkey man. He has a shop in Mohave, CA. and has working seminars there a couple of times a year.
