When Chevrolet discontinued the F-bodies I was rather disappointed. They replaced them with the cobalt, I felt that was a friggen joke, they took a premiere muscle car and replaced it with an import. The cobalt is a nice car but it will never live up to that witch it replaced (I think GM noticed that as well as rumor has it the discontinuance was lifted) but any who.

I started thinking about something I plan on pitching to GM at some point in time. I wanted to take a premere grocery getter and turn it into a premiere muscle car (taking into conciteration what they did to the Malibu as well, muscle car into a grocery getter), I finally got some ideas onto paper for a car that would appeal to all generations of drivers as well as resurrect a nameplate that Chevrolet should not have discontinued.

I based it on one of the(arguably the) most popular and highly coveted cars in the history of General Motors, that car is the 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air.

With modernized aerodynamics merged with classic style reminiscently unique of the '57 this full sized rear wheel drive sedan should be available it two and four door, hard top and convertible with optional V6 or V8 power and four wheel disk brakes.

I wanted to design a car that would not only sell, but also make a suitable entry into grand touring class racing as well. This body on top of it's similarity to the original is very open to customizing similar to that of modern imports to appeal to the newest generation of drivers, wile their fathers are drawn by the desire to own one of the '57's but can't, their fathers before them who's father had one or remember having one them selves are drawn to it by memories.


I have one more angles of this, as soon as I get good pics of it I'll put it up as well.
