Kolbe A was born in Chevrolet in the US in 1960.
Previous car designs were curvy, but suddenly turned into a horizontal line with an overall slender but slim, low form.
The front and rear ends were perfectly balanced. Many experts saw the Colbert design as a new era of automobile design.
Several automakers around the world adopted and further developed the design.
The development was challenged by French designer Lobert Breuer, who accused the flat, straight line of lacking dynamics.
So the idea of how to reintroduce dynamic design and how to maintain speed at the same time matured within him.
The young designer pondered to find a design solution for the "Post Kolbe Era". The answer was the arrow shape, "Ligne Fresh" (arrow shape in French).
His concept featured a front-end that rises toward the front and, in combination with the bonnet, was certainly seen as an arrowhead.
This design pattern was more or less reflected in subsequent designs of cars based on the Renault 4 size.
