“Aquarius” is an extension of Hetfield’s blending of 1930s French Art Deco and American aesthetics first developed in “The Black Pearl.” Referencing the design of European streamlined cars, “Aquarius” has billowing fenders and a pronounced rear fin, while the removable hard top and peaked, DuVall-style windshield simultaneously emulate the style of American hot rods of the 1950s. To accentuate the car’s aggressive look, pointed accents inspired by the hooked ends of a medieval battle axe were added to the grille, side exhaust pipes, and rear window trim.
