In Henrik Fisker's mind, the time has come for a car that has the universal appeal of the original 1959 Austin Mini, classic Volkswagen Beetle and 1965 Ford Mustang.
With about $1 billion in the bank and development of the Ocean electric crossover running smoothly and on track, the Danish-born designer is back in a familiar place: at his drawing board.
Earlier in his career, Fisker created such classics as the BMW Z8 and Aston Martin DB9. Then a decade ago, he launched his own car company, which produced the ill-fated Fisker Karma luxury sedan.
