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.

Cars are brought out a year before their model year designation. The first corvette was the ‘54 corvette introduced in the fall of 1953.

Yep ... point made. And I like the pic she posted. That was one hot looking car. Should've pushed it instead of the other.
