A fine comparison of this one ! It's a really interesting older Brooklin. I wonder if there was much influence on the real vehicle from the General Motors 1955 GMC L’Universelle show van ?

This article thinks so!
"... the first passenger compact van by Chevrolet, the Greenbriar Corvair model, used a lower interior space design for passenger comfort and safety that came from the L’ Universelle." -- https://www.motorcities.org/story-of-the-week/2019/the-gmc-l-universelle-was-a-unique-design-concept-model
Thanks, Mike, for the L’Universelle connection. I had to go look it up!

Yes, David, that's it ! It is a great-looking show vehicle from GM.

More Greenbriers and variations. Rampside pickup and van.
And as long as we're talking Corvairs here's a Lakewood wagon custom conversion of a Franklin Mint sedan. The Lakewood only lasted two years and was replaced by the Chevy 2 wagon.
