(Pics) Chevrolet Biscayne

Vey nice work, Mike! It looks great and less awkward. 

Great job - MUCH better look. The grille teeth remind of the Corvette. The 1st pic reminds of the Bug-eye Sprite.

Agree!

Nice work, Mike. Now the headlights look reminiscent of the Olds Golden Rocket.

@perrone1 Tony you took the words right out of my mouth...."Bug- Eye Sprite" or as our European friends would call it, "Frog-Eye Sprite".

The changes look great and are certainly more practical.

Same initial impression re: the Bug Eye Sprite Tony.  To me the grille looks like something children would devise; this car does zero for me.

I believe this Motorama car also had twin doors on each side that met in the middle of the automobile. The 1957 Cadillac Brougham I think used such a set up.

Speaking of which, I couldn't help thinking that Golden Rocket would have made a neat little sports machine if it wasn't for that ever-so-slightly impractical nose.

There. Another classic concept car screwed up beyond repair. Apologies as ever.

Excellent adaptation Graeme!! That nose job was necessary!  

It is a cool looking automobile in general, so it also looks good with the new grille ! Many of the Motorama and dream cars were idea automobiles, so features that may make it to the real world were "production-ized" or made more practical for everyday use.

This Chevrolet Biscayne was one of the exceptionally cool General Motors Motorama dream cars. I believe it has been found, rescued and restored. Here, I took a picture of the original automobile and photo-shop moved the headlights out to the sides, to give it perhaps a more mainstream look. The lovely young lady model is the same in both images !

I was thinking it looked like a Bug Eyed Sprite with dental braces.
