I like the Corvair. That fastback style was years ahead of things. I like the Nomad too. I almost bought a 56 nomad back in the mid 70's.

I liked both concepts... I felt the Corvair should have seen production, but with the Corvette name... Same with the Nomad.

Just so we are clear, I am referring to the motorama concept cars based on the Corvette, not the later versions using those names.

In fairness, the 1953 corvette/corvair concept with a convertible was much more appealing:
