[h=2]Modular cars[/h] The Sportback module transformed the Nissan Pulsar NX from a sporty car into a station wagon. | Nissan



In the 1960s and ’70s, automakers gave car designers free rein to create some outrageous concept cars. And as they looked to the future, these designers believed buyers would buy a single car, then order special bodies and features to transform their vehicles into what they need at any given time.
The closest the car-buying public got to this was the 1986 to 1990 Nissan Pulsar NX. A small, sporty coupe, the NX was available with a targa top, hatchback, and Sportback. With electric car platforms, the idea of a modular car is beginning to sound appealing again. But given the success (or lack thereof) of the NX, we doubt we’ll see another one anytime soon.

 

The writer maybe was not a car guy.

We have cars/pickup trucks that convert to cars/pickup trucks.........sorta.....

We also have aftermarket kits to convert a lot of cars to "station wagons" or "GT'"s
