How about a "Walk on the Wild Side" Ben with the 1954 Buick Wildcat Motorama Dream Car, it's a bit "mental" but still cool.

Yes Mike, that is one cool old ride! It always reminded me of a hybrid Vette/Buick. Wish they would've actually made some sort of production version of that.

They could have "productionized" it, but the Corvette was barely hanging on by a thread back then, so Buick left it as a dream car.

We might not have 'Vette's today if it hadn't been for the combination of "The Mad Russian" Zora Arkus-Duntov, and the 265cid "Mouse Motor" in 1955.

Oh you are most certainly correct about that Mike. The Corvette would have withered on the vine and died if it wasn't for the much needed performance injection that it received.
