I thought so too, but if you look real close, it is just a backwards negative.

I love this stuff! Obviously, GM had a crew of highly skilled craftsmen who's job it was to hand fabricate things like one-off badges, special trim, or prototype grills. Dream job, and too Cool!

Re: 60-66 Development/ Concept Photos!

I thought I'd add this picture since there are no panels or burbs on this thread, this one has a really cool trim package

Here is one. No steering wheel or suspension, this thread would be very appropriate!

Very KOOL. I see some of the photo's in the early post's had date on them in 1958 so they were ahead of there time...

Truly Amazing photos! So glad you shared them with us. I have a 1966 C10 Custom Cab Short Bed that is loaded! So neat to see how they developed one of the best looking truck designs Chevrolet has ever came up with!

Re: 60-66 Development/ Concept Photos!

Thanks for the trip in the Wayback Machine! I find it interesting in that all the clay models have a BB window but once they start pressing sheet they stick the dinky small window in there...

Re: 60-66 Development/ Concept Photos!

Interesting that there are no stepside design studies shown. I guess it was always the intent to use the previous generation's fender design.
