First appearing at the 1964 NY World's Fair as the GM-X, by 1969 GM figured it was worth revamping as a Pontiac and making the show circuit again. Very informative article here: https://www.motortrend.com/features/hppp-0310-1969-pontiac-cirrus/ Â
This thing would look new even today!

@randyrusk Does the red one have a different front end, like the '64 World's Fair car? It was red.

What a sensational looking dream car from GM and Pontiac ! Yes, this would look great now days, for sure.

@mg-harv The red one does not have the distinctive nose cone as it appears in those show car photos. However, I do notice a subtle difference in the lights on the front fins. The silver one has a wider lens than the red... or so it seems to my eyes.Â

Must have been a rolling body with no real interior or engine, a design study. How do you get in and out? 🤣Â

@karl I found no evidence of the powerplant, so I suspect it was indeed engineless.
