I think all of them are buckin' fugly! If people are going to do this crap to cars, I'd hope they'd use something like an old Ford Maverick, an AMC Hornet, or an old hearse. That wouldn't be so offensive.

Many of the prototypes and concepts we see running around the detroit auto shows never come through to fruition. This is a prime example why.

Yes we all need a giant tach with a shift light to tell the automatic transmission when to shift

Those taillights are by far the stupidest thing I've ever seen on any corvette, and that's saying a lot.

Actually of any car I've seen.

That was actually made. Chevy had an outside company produce a few of them. See here; http://www.corvettefever.com/feature...e/viewall.html

is the gap between tach and steering wheel an illusion? or am I suppose to hold the wheel with chop sticks?

If you want to have kids cheer you and get countless thumbs up and horn honks, drive a custom. My other 5 Vettes combined didn't see that kind of roadside approval.

Ugly as hell!
Some people really should leave well enough alone.
Just because it was on the cover of woodworking magazine 1 month now it's a prototype.
I cut a 2x4 a 1/4 " to short once so I guess it's a prototype now.
