Cars That Should Have Been...

I stubled across this picture today and thought: "How the hell have I never seen this car before, and why didn't they build this?!"



1956 Corvette Impala

Looks like it was just a concept car - should've gone production so I could fine one!

I'm sure there are many others - what you guys got??

 

Just call it the Corpala.

 

Looks like an Olds hit a Corvette and then mated with a '58 chevy.

 

They only made one, Nads owns it now, he traded a pocket knife for it.

p.s. If you google image search "corvette impala" have a barf bag ready.

How about "Impette"??

C'mon guys - someone has to have some other cool old concept cars that weren't far enough out there that they were feasible to be built.

 

This is hilarious

That looks like the car Johnny Cash described (I know he said Cadillac)

Godspeed
MrC.

 

I wish they would have built a million of these so they would be affordable now.

 

I'm pretty sure this car was called a Biscayne as a concept car.

 

I agree 100%

 

Not as nice a the pics of the one-off,
factory built T-Bird fastback show car
posted by Perroroj, but how about a
T-bird wagon as stablemate ( nest
mate??) to go along with it? This one
is homebuilt and very well done for
an amateur build, in my opinion but
not as nicely finished or executed
as a factory-built version would have
been. Maybe lose the Olds Vista-Cruser
windows and raised roof and a bit better
job on the back window. (It loks like its
from a Pinto!) Still, a cool and very
unique car!

I don't know bout this, I like the back, but the roof looks too long and reminds me of a Marlin. A 63-64 Galaxie roof may look good tho, Photoshop anyone?

 

That is sweet. A fella could get lucky driving that thing around I'll betcha.

 

Hmm?? Some cars that "Could've,
should've, would've been built??
I don't know how many they would
have actually sold 'back in day', or
more to the point, how much money
they would have lost on each one
they actually produced, but I know
that a whole bunch of NHRA Stock
cl*** racers back in the late '60's
who got burned by a sudden, more
realistic interpretation of the "Stock"
cl*** rule book, sure wished that
Chevrolet had actually built and sold
some '57 Chevy sedan deliveries with
4-speed hydros and fuel-injected 283's
and some '57 Chevy sedans, hardtops
and wagons with 4-speed sticks! LOL!

My pick Bill aka Tnomoldw

 

'54 Corvette Corvair (this example was a Bloomington in 2011- one of three known to exist):

 

winner!!! Lol

 

The one nads scored is a one off 61 cad motorama car has not been seen in 30 years as told to me by nads cant wait to see itMm

 

I saw one of the company guys "building" one of those Try-5 disasters for an audience with a sawzall at the Charlotte Auto Fair a few years back- he was pitching a fit because things weren't fitting together the way he wanted...

TRUE salesmanship

 

A little too many modern amenities, but this thing rocks. Forgive the ****py youtube video...

Hey I needed a good sharp knife.

 

I liked this one - maybe because Im a cuda fan - 1964 super cyclone- ja**

 

The Corvette Nomad was my favorite. I don't have a picture of it right now but it was posted earlier just not stock.

 

Chrysler Diablo. Way cool.

 

that roof line actually makes me like the bullet birds. I always thought the original roof looked out of place on them.
