Features HAMB ERA PROTOTYPES

GM XP-21 Firebird 1954

 

I definitely can't forget the Paxton; it's sitting in my garage.

 

I think ford missed this one, very custom looking and elegant also. Should have built it.

 

Or it should have been the Shelby Thunderbird 500.

 

Good point.

1964 Pontiac Banshee Concept

 

Although it looks like a customized C3 Corvette it was actually built on Tempest running gear and pre dated the 'vette by 4 years. I guess that the Tempest platform is the reason that the hood bulge is much further forward that it would have been on a Corvette. Also note the Opel GT style headlights. The roof was also a reverse "hatchback" latched to the windshield header and hinged at the trailing edge




The original styling mock up indicates that this was a Corvette concept from the start (even though the hood line is impossibly low even for a Corvette with the engine well back relative to the front axle)

1953 Studebaker Commander Convertible, Studebaker actually built a one off 1953 Commander Convertible--so an employee built another. The original is red whilst the replica (imposter) is yellow.
