Already having a partial Exner post about the Stutz, I might as well complete the Exner Neoclassic Fug story with the 3 other entries.
On top is his 1966 "Duesenburg revival", an attempt to slap a bunch of chrome and swoopy lines on an otherwise boxey modern American sedan. Neoclassics are ironic in that way - old school Duesenburg's were at the height of style and mechanical excellence in their prime. Their revivals are basically stylistic appliques overtop a cheap modern body, with about as much mechanical excellent as a New York taxi.
Second is the 1976 Duesenburg revival revival, which is the same concept but more boring and with an uglier bumper. Even the chrome looks cheap, and although it has swoopier bodywork than the other two, that's not necessarily a good thing.
The third is his take on a modern Bugatti.
