C body Concept Cars

amazinblue82 · Jun 21, 2015

Everything on the Internet (this concept was labelled an Eldo) must be true...BUT, I gotta back-track upon reflection.

This concept car looks more like what became the 1970-only Riviera styling (we did the Riv's from this era in another thread last year in case anybody wants to immerse themselves in that).

What some of our C -body nameplates became after the downsizing..the M's it looks like from this photo.

The 1977 Chrysler LeBaron turbine concept car ..never heard of/ever seen this one.

Haven't read through it all in a few years but some interesting insight.

Not C's but they inherited some of the nameplates as we know. Someone with mad "shopping" skills had a "what if" idea. R body coupes and wagons. They look kinda cool

after i posted above, I also found the Norseman. then i found 2 other "Concept Car" threads here .. I saw the Norseman is in one of them.

Its actually a fascinating car as is the story about its birth and famous "death". Thanks!

Sadly that car is at the bottom of the ocean on the Andria Doria. I guess the good news is that the car still exists, in one way or another.

I remember reading about the Norseman as a kid! The day dreams I used to have about that car! In the 80's my grandpa got me a few books on concept cars! Ah the memories... Another cool thing about gramps was after 36yrs at Buick City he went to work for the Flint auto auction. He used to bring me up there to see the wild cars they'd bring in. Got to see the the Charlie's Angels van and a bunch more!

some of these concept drawing looks like works from Syd Mead

Not a C body and its been discussed here a few years back.

BTW, it apparently sold for $176,000 at auction (it was on ebay -- dunno if it sold there or not).

And I guess there was a real 1958 Plainsman wagon built in Australia that never sold here? Anyway, I found a brochure that I'll put in a different existing thread.
