It certainly seems in it's own way to be a real tribute to the great original American (and a European) vehicles. They used some excellent source material and concepts for their ideas. The beautiful young gal acting as a model for the dream cars had by far the toughest job of all in front of the people at the show ! She definitely earned every dollar (or yuan) that she made !

From the net: Songsan Motors is a Beijing-based Chinese automaker known for producing retro-styled vehicles inspired by classic American cars, such as the 1958 Chevrolet Corvette. Their signature model, the SS Dolphin, is a plug-in hybrid convertible manufactured by BYD. The vehicles combine vintage design aesthetics with modern technology, including 1.5L turbocharged hybrid engines, with prices often starting around $96,000. US.

Seems like there would be copyright infringement on the styling of those vehicles. Maybe not, who am I to know. The Chinese are well know for making knockoffs.🤦♂️😊
