What a wild car for its time! I like the Corvette Manta Ray concept and the Mako as well. This Studebaker concept is totally different. Can't imagine that jet engine and center bullet coming at me on the street!

GREAT choice John - Thanks!!

I usually grab concept cars as soon as they come out.  There are a few I passed on cause I thought that they were too far out.  This being one of them. Sorry I passed on it.

Thanks John, I never heard of this car. The front end looks similar to GM’s original 1951 LeSabre. Funny how they both debuted at the same time.
