Title: Auto inspired case design?

I'd like to see some design elements from cars make their way into keyboard cases.  I'm horrible at drawing, but I hope my sketch gets the idea across.  Anyways I'd definitely be interested in buying something like that.  Maybe someone who's good at design can come up with something cool and get an IC going :)

There are a ton of iconic cars that you could pull details form. Trim, vents, hood elements, grille, side scoops, classic paint schemes like the '57 & up vette's or other classic two tones. Wrist rest like the nose of a superbird or pantera....

And some hood ornament keycaps to go with the case! including a re-issue of the wingnut keycap

Someone please design a case based on the legendary W126
my first car was a 91 560SEL. man that thing could pull. I've always loved the design, I think its those straight lines, there is something executive about it.
