Just a question about the so beautiful black 1551 5 1/4 floppy drive by Commodore.

Sunglasses on, please

Edit: Now... This is mine (!!): https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/p6cAA...zi/s-l1600.jpg

It was released for the C=16 and the Plus4 and it was much faster (three times) than the 1541 for the C=64. ...
An adapter for them was planned back in the day.

Dunno, but nowadays it's easy to find adapters for things that weren't even planned, so why doesn't exist this kind of adapter yet?.

Could it be possible?
