1979 Aston Martin Bulldog – If Dogs Could Fly
The Bulldog had to be one of the most misleading names in the history of automobiles. As you stepped through its huge gullwing door and settled into its deeply contoured cloth covered sea, you thought of a hang glider, perhaps, or a cheetah. You certainly didn’t think of a pedigreed hound. But Bulldog it was called, after the personal airplane of Aston Martin’s managing director Alan Curtis.
Aston Martin gave the car a jaunty greenhouse shape defined by a steeply raked windshield almost in line with the nose, and a louvered rear window nearly symmetrical with the windshield. Hydraulic door lifts lurked under the hatch along the flank of the angular, singular beast.
