What if a door-less Mercedes 300 SL?

Targa style, I would say.

A family resemblance? Both the Dolomite and Austin Victoria were designed by Giovanni Michelotti.

If you want to try something different, I know at least two US railroads painted a diesel locomotive up in desert camouflage in 1991 to honor employees who were reservists called up for Desert Storm.

Canada did this in 2019

CALGARY, Nov. 12, 2019 /PRNewswire/ - Canadian Pacific (CP) unveiled five specially painted locomotives on Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the U.S. honouring the culture and history of the armed forces. The five Electro-Motive Diesel SD70ACUs will take the message of military pride across the CP system.

CP personnel carefully studied the paint colours and patterns that branches of the Canadian and U.S. militaries applied to tanks, planes and warships. Based on their research, they devised five liveries for these locomotives:

CP 7020 wears North Atlantic Treaty Organization green, which the Canadian and U.S. armies apply to fighting vehicles and equipment serving in temperate climates.
CP 7021 wears the sand colour that the Canadian and U.S. armies apply to fighting vehicles and equipment serving in arid climates.
CP 7022 wears the grey, red and black colour pattern of modern Canadian and American warships.
CP 7023 wears a two-tone gray paint scheme designed after the livery applied to Canadian and American fighter jets. 
CP 6644 wears the camouflage colours applied to Royal Canadian Air Force "Spitfire" fighter planes flown at the Allied invasion of Normandy, France, on June 6, 1944. 

Four of the five locomotives bear a Canadian flag on one side and American on the other. CP operates in both countries and employs veterans of both countries' military services.

With CP now merged with KCS, those locomotives could even find their way all the way down to the southern border of the US.

It is almost heressy, but ... what if Citroën DS is taken to XXI century?

You can't take the DS to the 21st Century because it's a 22nd century design to begin with! :D But I rather like yours.

How about a 21st Century Trabant, or Citroen Ami?

Camaro 1975 4-door sedan

Now this one is heresy!! (the mid-70s Camaro/Firebird/Trans Am are one of my all-time favourites ever since I was little)... childhood memory just rushed to mind out of the mists... I was 5 or 6, after Mass at the Hungarian Catholic church in Vancouver, I wandered outside waiting for my great-grandparents to finish talking with their friends, and spotted this beautiful black Trans Am... walked over to it and stood up close and just stared, until I heard a voice behind me ask, "you like Trans Ams?" I got a bit startled, turned around to look at him (Native guy with the most amazingly perfect long black hair...) and just nodded (I wasn't all that confident with my English yet) and he gave me a grin and a thumbs up and said I have good taste. :D

... wow where did that come from, amazing how you can remember something from decades ago and then if you close your eyes and think about it you can see all sorts of little details...
