few prototypes and concept cars are coming up in emails that I haven't seen before, but Randy found one with some previously that I had never seen

coincidentally this 1948 Cadillac Series 62 by Soutchik was just the car in a 2012 calendar that a coworker has... and I was going to look it up. Now I don't need to!
this car was in the Imperial Casino car collection/ museum http://vizlepcso.blogspot.hu/2008/07/auto-collections-tizenhatodik-rsz.html



 1953 Cadillac by Ghia... the Rita Hayworth car
it has an interesting history http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/1953-cadillac-series-62-rebodied-by.html and the color in daylight is closer to purple.


1955 Lincoln Indianapolis


1956 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket had an interesting design for a steering wheel. the spokes are at one side. Looks like maybe the speedometer was in the center of the steering wheel too... imagine how far that steering wheel would roll up toward the roof


1957 Chrysler Diablo by Ghia
