corvette prototype pics??
Does anyone have some pics of the original corvette prototypes? I think there were 4 different ones including a wagon. That's the one I am most interested in.

Sorry, no pictures, but this book about corvettes that my photo teacher let me borrow showed a '53 front end on a station wagon(which i think became the nomad), rear mounted engine fastback(which i think became the corvair), and a passenger car(i think).

I have a few pics of the wagon (one is a small pic of it & the other three prototypes) in my "Corvette Chronicle" book. I have to leave for work now, but if no one posts any during the day, I can scan & post them this evening for you.

Here are the pics I was talking about...

It's a page from the book "Corvette Chronicle" by James Flammang. It's a pretty good book. Nice illustrations, facts, and world info for each year Corvette.

Re: corvette prototype pics?? (MoMo)
I take it you don't like the nomad?
I guess you have to keep in mind what was available in '53.
I do think the Corvair model is very :cool:
