Looks like that car came from this site .... http://www.cadvision.com/blanchas/54pontiac/54corvair.html
It’s a fastback ‘54 Corvair concept. According to this site, GM hadn’t decided between the names Corvair and Corvette at the time.
I figured as much. I believe though, that the original Corvette was a 1953 issue, wasn't it? I was born the same year, so that production date has always stuck with me.
I get the point that Diana was making. She just chose the wrong picture. No one who lived through those times would recognize that car as a Corvair.
Interesting stuff from that site. The Nomad. Linked from there is a site about building one, adapting the ‘Vette front end and tail treatment to a production Nomad. Cool car. We had one for a while when I was a kid but that was not our Nomad.
