THAT one I remember John! I loved it back then, love it now. OK, I'd tone down the twin bullets emerging from the body cartridges but the overall look is gratifying. Reminds one of a T-Bord sized car with cues of 61 Caddy. I think I'd modify the bubble top somewhat but as a whole, this is a spectacular car.
Coming hot & heavy John - Keep them coming maistro!!

This was the concept that inspired Ed Wellburn, who went on to head GM Styling.
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.
One of several concept cars done by MiniChamps both in 1/18 and 1/43 scale. I have them in 1/43 scale due to space limitations. Good stuff John.
I remember this one when it was first introduced. One of the reporters at the time said they were completely distracted by this Cadillac concepts "Big Boobs". Looks great overwise.
I remember this one as well and wished it was done by FM who would do some of the concept cars. Maybe a model is out there that I could build?
That was an interesting read, thanks John. I only remember this concept in later years.
