I wouldn't sweat it, Croc, as it seems like many on this board have turned the hate volume up pretty high since the new board came online.

Oh, I'm not upset or anything; I was just putting the jackass in his place :)

Satty, you forgot the ultimate comfort food:

Unless you don't like Mint Chocolate Chip, I'd say this is the best feel-good ice cream flavor.

Negatory. That's the fuel-cell GM Precept.

This is the 1992 Ultralite:

420lbs. Think about that. That's what GM is capable of when it wants to do something.

Best corporation building the best automobiles the world has ever seen - when it feels like it.

I would love to see this vehicle on the road as a super fuel-efficient two-seater.

Too bad GM has to adhere to US safety standards...

The Precept was rather innovative. I dont remember all the details, but it was a test bed for all kinds of technology, drivetrain and weight savings. Problem is, it reminds me of this:

This is big favorite of mine. The Chevy Cheyenne pickup concept. I tell you here now, if Chevy made this pickup exactly as it is here, they would take over the truck market almost completely.

Very butch.

Disagree...it looks too much like the Stay-Puff Marshmallow from the front, and it is just too soft and feminine looking, with a rub strip from Hell. I DID like its interior though.

The white one up above is the '68 Astro-Vette, as opposed to the '67 Corvair Astro I or the '67 XP-880 Astro II or the '69 Astro III (which was a turbine-powered 3-wheeler). The blue job in your sig is too new for me. Sure looks like a variant of the Corvette Indy design (of which there seem to be a few)...

Sixty8, do you know of any good books on auto design studios and design proposals that didn't make it......I really like that kind of stuff....can't get enough of it.

The '54 Dodge Granada concept.  I wonder if Ford had to pay Dodge for the use of that name?

Funny how many recent concepts I've forgotten. I've tried to save pix of a lot, and this thread got me going back through them...

Some highlights from my Chevy folder...

2000 Chevy Tandem? I don't remember this one at all, and might have it mislabeled...
Posted Image

2000 Chevy Traverse. Now we know where the Malibu Maxx's tail end came from...
Posted Image

2001 Chevy Borrego. I kinda liked this one...
Posted Image

2001 Chevy S5. Looks like the child of a silverado and a tracker.

2001 Chevy Sabia

1965 Mako Shark-II Corvette

I forgot about that Chevy Traverse.....definitely the inspiration for the MAXX. Those Chryslers were very nice. Edited by HarleyEarl

I actually got to sit in that two door Tahoe concept at GM at Carlisle it was really nice. A guy there (GM Big shot) told us it was going to be built this was back in 2001 the first year they had the GM show,I guess he was wrong .

Hey...Ford had to buy (or atleast get permission) from Chrysler for "Falcon" after their 1950s concept the Dodge Falcon.

Even though it looks like a Peugeot 309, this might have done something.

Hey Razor....not sure of the exact year on that AMX GT.....I understand that is where the idea of the Gremlin originated....the roofline.

[post="87434"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post]


yep, you read my mind, that was why I asked and what I had suspected, I can deal with Gremlin, it would be one of my last AMC of choise but I can deal with them.......I cant deal with a AMX nose on a Gremlin and this is not really that great of a job either, not like say the camback Corvettes. The Gremlin insignia is..... awsome..........dude

Hey. How about this that previewed the Neon SRT4's engine- the Plymouth Pronto Spyder. Now this would have saved Plymouth.

Or the Chrysler 300 Hemi C concept, what a looker!

Hey, does this preview the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, or the new Peugeots? It's the Chrysler Java. I like this, would want one.

The Hemi-powered, one-off '55 Falcon was a "Chrysler".

Mixing the beautiful AMX with a Gremlin is juust simply wrong! What year was this ? 67 68 ?

1969.

If taken out of the dragstrip way of thinking, it's actually pretty ahead of its time.
