Odd kind of question

At the end of Disney/Pixar's 'Cars', our friends go to a Drive-In (like they had any other choice when seeing a movie) and watch 'Cars' versions of other Disney/Pixar classics, with vehicle versions of Buzz Lightyear, Sheriff Woody, Mike and Sulley from Monsters Inc, as well as 'Bugs' shaped like VW Beetles. Based on some other customs I saw, I took a 1989 Ertl 1/43 Diecast Batmobile (Keaton/Nicholson) and made it into what I think Batman would look like in the Cars world. (I'll post it later if anyone wants)

Then, I tried for the Disney/Pixar movie notably missing from the list--The Incredibles. I got hold of a McD's Incredibile (Bob Parr's ride during his glory days) toy and began to alter it. I even found potential cars for Helen and Lucius (Frozone), as well as Dash. Bad part is, 'Mister Incredibile' just doesn't work. While a cool ride, there is just no way that Bob's car ID's him the way Bruce Wayne is by the Batmobile, and it just doesn't say its him.

So my question, to the artistically inclined, is, what type of car could you see Bob as? Part of me is saying it has to be the kind of car you could mistake for being just a big guy, rather than a Super, so I'm not sure H2's and the like are options. Any help is appreciated.
 
I think an older muscle car would suit him. I don't know a lot about cars so don't ask me to pick one in particular out but that's the first thing that came to mind.
 
Why does it bother you? The guy posts on this forum a lot and he has an artistic question. That is reason enough. Perhaps an "OT" tag is warranted, but we've had plenty of non-trek threads in this forum.
 
Bojirob - I agree with Seeker to a point. It should be an older car, but big and powerful. Think a '57 Chevy, or a late '40's to '50's Buick or Plymouth (of course, if you know Stephen King, you might want to use a Plymouth Fury for Syndrome).


Hope you post the pics here. Great idea. I thyink Disney did something along a similar vein, but making cars that are based on chracters from different movies (there was a Vader car, a Sully car, etc.) If I can find pics I will attach them.
