Not something specific, and whilst it did have some ideas the concept was more in line with el_monty's first response in this thread.

Nothing to do with Studebaker, no.

Not De Soto, no.

EDIT: Looking back, I may have confused some people earlier.
This is not by one of the big three, but it does have influence of them, thus the 'sort of'.

Not after the person who drew it, no, but after the commissioners, yes.

Pros? Perhaps you guys can capitalize on the work that's been done on this one so far.

Did an American car magazine ask a designer to draw what a production version of GM Firebird II dream car would look like ?

4popoid · July 05, 2015, 08:03:39 AM

A concept for American Motors Corp. (AMC), perhaps in anticipation of a possible merger?
