Bill Mitchel's own personal custom

at least according to this page :

I personally like the side louvers, hood and rear spoiler.

yuck

Looks in style for the 70's.

Would like more details on the fuel filler.

Does it come with a coke spoon hanging from the mirror?

Probably did, somebody at GM probably took it long time ago.

That's one of Billy M's concepts I've not seen before - and I thought I knew it all He had some fabulous concepts, but I cannot say this is a top one. In 1977 when he retired there was a retrospective at the NY Auto Show - these was a 76 or 77 concept car with a periscope rear view feature - the Mulsanne.
My buddies Fazoole and Peckerhead prevented me getting "more better" shots of the fabulous concept Corvettes.

We took the train to NYC Grand Central that day, and we'll never forget this old woman in her 70's sitting in the train station across from us with he dress high & no under britches - we still laugh about it.

Interesting, this Mulsanne has the same hood, I like the idea of adding extra curves without compromising the driver sight. Any idea if this kind of hood is still available somewhere?

So I guess that's where Ralph Eckler got the concept for his square bulb/trays that were so popular, and that I have the trays still in my car, modded for later camaro bulbs and the over large holes covered up 1/2 way.....:bounce:

The rear spoiler looks like a copy of a late sixties Porsche 908/(910?) sports car.

 

[clutchdust]

like the hood. Not much else.
