Great car and all, love the thing, but things don't jive here.....
Back in the day, most of those Motorama cars were just crushed. A few snuck out, some were sold at recent auctions. These days, GM doesn't really care about them. There is a guy in Chicago, Joe Bortz, who finds, restores and collects these cars. He did a 1955 Chevy Biscanye a last year. Stunning car.
That Corvair looks legit to me. I am very aware of the original and yes, it was based on a 54 Vette. So was the original Nomad concept.
