Yes, black would be better. It's quite slick. Who made it? And did you see any interesting fuel cell stuff? And has Volvo reissued the 1977 242DL? I still miss that car. The Beetle and the Mini were reborn, I think the super-sexy 242DL should have its chance, too.
This is not exactly the same as the beloved '77 2-door that I drove for a few years, but it's close. The round headlights are an important part of its mojo. The inline-4 engine had lost some of its former power (probably valves), but it always passed smog, and it was an overbuilt marvel of Swedish engineering. Yep, a car like that will get a man more ass than a toilet seat.
This was a student design exercise by I think someone at CCS (Center for Creative Studies). Fuel cells- lots of stuff, mostly by GM; edging closer to reality but still very expensive. Over the next decade or so, a whole bunch of technological advances will combine to make them actually usable. Volvo had an electric 3-seater concept with a strange-looking rear end, very unlike classic Volvos of old. I do think there's a strong market out there for simple, rugged, and reliable.
