Wow... a car made of lead...

Not only is it good that it got rescued because it's a car that was worth it, but also because if it got left alone, that would have been a mini enviro-disaster waiting to happen.

Nice!

It should go without saying that finding a concept car 'in the wild' or in someone's garage after decades of slumber, is my all-time favorite daydream. The (full-size) Club deMer & the '56 Olds Golden Rocket have been rumored to be in Jersey.... I keep my eyes open all the time. ;)

All awesome videos of amazing concept cars. Good to see that the fiberglass has held up well on both of the Bonneville Specials as early fiberglass is noted for failing; a friend of my father has restored a few Kaiser Darrins in his time and the starting points for all would have fallen apart if you looked at them the wrong way.

I think all three of those babies are sweet. The Impala is the best looking, though.

Fly-

By all accounts the '56 Impala was destroyed.

The '54 Strato-Streak and the '55 Strato-Star's whereabouts are unknown, no whispers as to survival, strongly believed that both these Pontiacs were destroyed.

The '55 Biscayne DOES have a hideous headlight treatment and a strange toothy mug, but from the side & rear it has a lot of the same funky clunky charm the 1st gen Corvairs have. If that happens to butter your biscuit...

Hey- absolutely ANY domestic dream car that survived, I bow to and appreciate. Even the {gulp!} Biscayne.
