With the Project X shows Chevrolet at the SEMA where things are going Restomods will go in the future. On the basis of a Tri-five sedan from 1957 developed the custom car forge Cagnazzi Racing an ultra-cool classic that has a very special feature that also makes it fit for the future, in which there will be ever stricter emission regulations and in which an internal combustion engine will (unfortunately) hardly have a future. being Electric motor It enables you to cruise completely emission-free and at the same time extremely casual.

What color is electricity? Yellow!
