  1. This gives the impression they traveled very, very, very slowly.

    I have never seen pics of this car before, '62 rear with a '63 front end. Must have been a mule.

    Was this design so you could leave the engine running to stay warm at night from the exhaust?

    was it designed by a committee? Or a couple engineers?

    I suspect it's all 1963 under the ugly disguise.

    Sort of like this one that others have asked about, although it's a blurry compared to other pics I've seen. '53 nose sheet metal crudely grafted onto a '55.

    Looks like Studebaker cowl with stretched front fenders.

    That is the one I talked about on a prior thread.
    Except the photo I saw was of a GM design studio shot of just one side of the car.
    I want to say it was a wall mounted mockup, fading memory.

    Edit
    I still swear it was reversed though, 55 front on a 54 back.
    Anyone?
