Yes indeed Ed! That red vehicle was a Chevrolet prototype show car back around 2003. Too bad it never made it into production.

I don't remember the picture but sure like everything in it.

Does someone own the RED prototype?? Or what happened to it ?.

 

[BlastfromPast]

I believe this is the same car (although with a slightly different grille treatment) at the GM Heritage center. The prototype was called the "SS" and was a SHARP looking ride!


Blast urple:

That SS was the nicest looking 4 door hardtop I've ever seen. Would have been one heck of a production car.

Chevrolet SS Prototype

Here's a link to an article from early 2003 discussing the car.

Yup what they said. A prototype of a new SS But it never turned out that way I love my Impala SS I would have jumped on that if thy built it and kept the price realistic

Looked really nice but the back seat looks useless. My $.02.

I don't see a B pillar. What is the back door hanging on? Somehow I don't think that would pass side impact crash test!

All the doors on 4 dr hardtops in the early to mid 60s were hung from a mid height center pillar. Can't tell you if new impact laws could be met or not, but they sure looked good.

A 1960 Chev Impala 4 dr hardtop with the extended roofline was one cool car.
