Chevrolet's Motorama Dream Car for 1955 - The Biscayne

The Dream Car pictured here was a four passenger, pillar less four door hard top with suicide doors that later appeared on some 1957 and 1958 Cadillac's. Each front fender wore a gold anodized "V" logo to indicated a V-8 was under the hood. Side coves on the Biscayne's rear quarters appeared on the front fenders of the 1956 Corvette. As you can see very little trim was used except for a stylish Chevy script on the front door. Note the headlights later seen on the 1958 Austin Healy and the unusual vertical grille elements.

All the Dream Cars were hand build, this one out of fiberglass, to test future external designs. Many times the cars did not have an engine, interiors or working electrical systems.
