Oddball Elio Ideas

Great stuff... I've seen Silas Sunday's version of a '56 Bel Air, I'm curious as to what your take on the design would be if you're willing.

I love the 'Delahaye' treatment on the fenders and side skirts! There's a charm to the Cyclops headlight, but personally I'd forgo that for something else even if not as 50's compatible.

I actually thought that pizza delivery is a great fit, the people that have to do this job are putting in a lot of miles and gas just to deliver a couple of boxes for most deliveries. I just like the Taxi coloring idea to try first.

I think the next best commercial application for the Elio is the Zip Cars. I'm sure most of those cars are single occupant only. The fleet has plenty of compacts now. Imagine the Elio's popularity if Zip Car could offer the Elio for half or 2/3 the price per mile or hour that they charge now for their compact cars.

the zip cars are Smarts i.e. 2 seater. My kids use 'em all the time in Seattle, but i think the Elio sits too low, and amazingly takes up a bigger parking footprint (lol)

My daughter is 'single in Seattle' and drives those Zip-Cars, plus uses the bus system.
Looking at the current prices, an Elio would likely cost her less per month than a Zip, plus her bus fees, if she drives more than 10-15hours a month.
That all shifts if Elio prices come into play.

If her status were to change from "Single in Seattle" to..... car tastes might also change (lol)

Don't remember the actual Zip milage/time charges but it was (to me expensive) I remember doing a mental calculation that sitting at a stop light was (to me)quite a few bucks. If your child ,like my two are doing very well (read they earn more in a year than I in four, as a teacher), it's not a big deal. The actual milage they do is very few. Why would Zip pass on the savings to the customer(s). As it is currently set-up there is no direct customer outlay to fill-up.

VERY nice Mr. Espino! I could see making all the chrome goodies out of fiberglass and shooting some Spectra Chrome on them to make them look like real chrome. Love your vision(s)!
