Nice pics Terry, I'm impressed with the Olds especially. A Motorama car. The F-88 it was called, and maybe you see the Mark II version shown here. It debuted around 1956 but the four headlamps make me think it was later. GM was always repainting these cars and changing them. Mystery surrounds how many of the original, Mark II and Mark III actually were built. Some also went off to prominant folks who have kept a long secret. Next trip to Michigan I'm looking in some barns.

Thanks for these fine pictures. I enjoy these dream cars! (PIC) I even have a few in my favored 1:43 scale.

Interesting to try to pick out design points that were used in some manner. I spotted the 55 Plymouth front fenders, the 62 Pontiac side molding/trim, the 66 Nova roof line for starters. What a shame they didn't produce the Falcon (minus the side pipes) & the 55 Chrysler Ghia.....what beauties.

The 57 Chrysler looks like something Batman would drive! Yuk.

The Rondine would be my pick

The only one I don't care for is the '57 Chrysler

As indicated, Randy, some show 'not so much' style sense. This may be one of them?

My favorite is the 53 Ford Vega.
