1954 Corvair Prototype
 

Removed my pics after finding out some info.. sorry guys

Pretty cool, I wonder if they put a super large gas tank in it since they won't be needing the space for the soft top...

I think you guessed right about him knowing his stuff.

I do believe you were talking with Vette Daddy.

Can't believe you missed his post on building the tops.

I don't think that was Vette Daddy. I talked to this guy (first pic bright red shirt) for a bit.

I heard him (red shirt) tell some folks that this was actually a GM prototype car that they were rebuilding. Couple more pics:

I heard him tell someone that also.

Why remove your pic.s ?

Re-creating you mean, I REALLY doubt it's THE original prototype...

I suspect that To be Roger's car. To the OP please post the pics again, I don't care who got it done first I just love these cars!!!!

If you don't want to post the pics again here, hope you could still email me them for my personal collection. jay ( at ) c3-r.com THaNKS!!!!

As I suspected it is Roger R.'s car...

Looks good to me... It will be interesting to see how Mike Terry's and Vette daddy's cars will look with the altered roof line... :cheers:

I looked the car over VERY well
It is a late(r) 54 car....
Press molded with late 54 body mounts...

Actually it's an early 54 !

Awesome!! Is that one of the Motorama cars?

Chris

This is possibly the second one that he has done, if I remember correctly he posted a couple years ago that he completed a seafoam green one like this.
He also owns or did own a 53 serial #29.

I don't care if it's THE prototype, or a 54, it's very cool.....ME LIKEY!
Thanks for posting all the pics. It would have been a winner to me. :thumbs:

No problem there are several great pictures of the Corvair on the Covette Action Center too. It even has alot more headroom than a normal Corvette. :rock:

Did anyone at Bloomington take pictures with the trunk open and see the hinges?

Is there any more pictures with the trunk open?

what do you consider early? i know it has two hood pulls, but that still covers a wide range of cars.

NO HE DIDN'T!!
But I'd better leave it at that...
