I saw the Stiletto and other concepts, at the GM pavilion at the 64-65 New York Worlds fair. At a eleven years old. I was in LOVE and, couldn't wait until the future got here!

 

The Silver Arrow Riviera 1963

The Father of the Riviera, William L. (Bill) Mitchell decided a modified version needed to be created to tour the show car circuit, and when it wasn't on duty at a show somewhere, Mitchell himself would keep it in good running order by using it as his personal transportation! After completing final inspections, the car was whisked off to Creative Industries in Detroit, Michigan for modification.

The Silver Arrow featured a roof that was chopped two inches, with a slightly lengthened hood and modified front fenders, and a non-stock silver leather interior. At first glance it could have almost passed for a standard 1963 Riviera, were it not for the front end, which was a preview of things to come for 1965. Originally, the 1963 Riviera was intended to have the hidden headlights that didn't make it into production until 1965. Engineering required a bit more time for the design work, so the 1963 and 1964 Rivieras went to market without them.

Stock Rivieras had two sealed beam headlamps mounted on each side of the grille, with parking/turn signal/cornering lamps concealed behind translucent grilles in the forward edges of the front fenders. The Silver Arrow was modified to remove the headlamps from the grille, which was then filled in with panels painted to match the car body. The lights themselves were relocated behind the translucent grilles in the fenders. This meant the parking and turn signals needed to be moved to the area just below the front bumper, and cornering lamps were eliminated completely. Instead of the stock four headlamp system, a dual headlamp system was utilized.

 

1964 Pontiac Banshee XP-833

 

GM first used the name El Camino for the 1954 Cadillac El Camino Concept Car

 

1962 Buick Electra 225 limousine

With the info that came with car it looks like the Flxible coach corporation produced 2 of these for GM for a cost study feasibility. All the rear area is trimmed similar to a 75 series Cadillac with jump seats and rear a/c heater controls but no radio controls. It has a divider partition but no glass. Any body with any info it would be great to hear from.​

1963 Bonneville Maharani Show Car

 

1964 Plymouth Satellite II Show car

 

1964 Eldorado Fiberglass Concept

 

Another Cougar before becoming the Mustang

 

1955 Chrysler Falcon Concept Car. Three built, one shipped overseas.

 

Ford Division’s Ranger II is an ultra-modern pickup truck with a custom designed passenger compartment. Seen as a two-seater vehicle in the above photo, the Ranger II converts into a four-passenger pickup (below) at the flick of a finger.

The rear portion of the cab moves 18-inches into the bed of the truck while a roof section moves up into position and two additional bucket seats fall into place.

The Ranger II’s ultra-streamlined windshield is made of specially tempered plastic-type glass. It also features high intensity headlights of rectangular design, extruded aluminum grille and walnut flooring in the cargo bed.

 

Firebird Prototype

 

The 1964 Chevrolet XP-813 Concept Car. It was an advanced small car program aimed at developing a vehicle that could replace both the Chevy II and the Corvair.

 

The back end looks like the british mk1 ford capri.
And the front opel.

 

I think the rear looks more like a Toyota Corona.

 

Sure glad they didn't go with this version

1961 Chevy clay model
