FullGood Motors, once known as Songsan Motors, started decades ago as a Beijing motorcycle club. The group later turned its attention to cars that look like they rolled out of the 1950s but run on modern hybrid systems. Their SS Dolphin takes the shape of a 1958 Chevrolet Corvette C1 and places it over a Chinese plug-in hybrid platform. After years of delays, one of these cars is heading to the Los Angeles Auto Show this fall.
Khyzyl Saleem took one look at Hyundai’s boxy Santa Fe and decided the three-row people mover needed a completely different life.

Official world premiere still sits at the Paris Motor Show in October, with customer deliveries planned for 2027.

They named it the Land Down Under.
