Was this a concept? Because the production version didn’t look like that. Similar themes, but some significant differences (that probably could not realistically be mass produced in that era)

EDIT: fixed “could realistically be mass produced” to “could not realistically be mass produced”)

Yeah this became their dust buster van, didn't it? They badged them as both Pontiacs and Chevrolets IIRC.

Yea, this is a concept drawing before production.

I remember seeing this and thinking how did they make an AMC Pacer, only worse?

Humans made this for the auto shows. It got drastically revised before production, but was still a pretty rad looking van at the time.

And the Previa mimicked a lot of this design later too!
