Hmmm... The Avelate front is C3-ish, the sides are C1-ish, the rear is C2-ish and the overall sweep is C5-ish. So where's the C4??? :smash: :U

....inside??....

Could it have been the avelate corvette? They make a "split window" coupe conversion for the c5, and they look somewhat like what you are describing. Go to http://www.avelate.com to see what I am talking about.

I am not sure this is what you saw, but it might be. Here is the back end:

That's the ugliest Vette I ever seen :U :U

GM PROTOTYPES or CONCEPTS maybe but not likely, a Co. as large as GM doesn't transport there cars on open flat beds. There are too many Spies trying to get a look or a photo. Espionage in the auto industry is big money.
Who ever owned them most likely didn't care if they were seen. Or maybe wanted them to be seen :smash: :cheers:

Did you see the two yellow vettes in this month of Corvette Fever I bet these are pretty close to what the C6 will be :D :seeya

I hope Avelate builds their cars better than they build their website.

Highly unlikely. Early builds like that are always transported through Reliable or a similair auotomotive closed in carrier. Also, builds this far out would not be painted wild colors like that, they would be flat black or white or gloss black.

A longtime friend of mine (and C5 owner) works for GM and his office is at the Milford Proving Ground. I once discussed with him about GM transporting "future," "prototype" cars and he informed me they always use Reliable (fully enclosed) Transport to move cars from state to state. We've all seen these bright orange semis on the highway....My friend has nothing to gain by lying to me, and I have seen Reliable Transport Auto Carriers parked near GM displays at national car events.

Just my 2 sense :)

Chris81 your right! I like to add my 2.5 cents worth. the front of the alevate resembles a late model firebird. sorry if the C6 look like this :U

nothing against firebirds, there kool cars but come onnnn GM!! Do they need new blood in GM's reasearch and development. maybe they ask us on our forum and we can come up with creative concepts. :chevy

I know GM is tight with there concept and prototype cars, but, I use to see the white prototype C5's and "Cormaro" cruising around the streets of Bowling Green all the time before the first C5 was ever unveiled. I chased one down the interstate toward the plant one day for about a mile before the driver stomped the gas and left me in his dust. Im still waiting to see a C6 prototype. I drive around the plant from time to time to see what I can see. I have a disposable camera in my car just in case.
