if it won't be produced, where will it reside?

who were the designers?
What were they thinking when designing it?
and where are some pics of it [Smile]

They had it at the Kansas City Auto Show in February, so I guess they're still showing it around. I thought it was a lot neater in person than the pictures would indicate.

That's all I've got for you. [Razz]

Orange 01 SS is right...it did look better "in person" at the Car Show. Here is another pic I snapped of the interior:

I just thought that was worth quoting. [Big Grin]

Still resides in GM Design Studios collection and we showed it at several autoshows this past year.

You probably shouldn't judge the car (or any car) until you see it in person......most who didn't like it initially are pleasantly surprised when they see it.

It sits on a Colorado Chassis....many design cues from the 55-57 era....(you have to see it in person to see a lot of these cues..)

I want to say that Ed Wellburn was the lead designer...but not positive of that.

I don't think its going to see prodcution... the point behind the concept I thought was to show the versality of the mid size platform and hint at the future i.e. turbo inline 5. [Wink]
