This is from a very cool Facebook page on the great Harley Earl's work with the GM design studio.

This is a model in the studio where they were tossing around ideas, some made it to you local dealers showroom, some didn't.

If you don't know who Harley Earl was you need to brush up on this amazing man who not only shaped the cars of the fifties at GM but was an influence in all of auto makers. Checkout the page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/Harle...10134269031472

His grandson Richard Earl has made this page to honor him and he has posted some awesome stuff!
