1955 Chevrolet Biscayne XP-37

GM touted this four-door, four-passenger, pillarless hardtop as 'an exploration in elegance.' With a panoramic windshield, long fairings for the headlamps, a series of vertical grille bars baked by fine mesh, distinctive side coves that wrapped around the rear, thin-shell, swiveling front seats (to aid entry and exit), suicide rear doors and thin mustache bumpers, and painted in brilliant Atlantic Green, the Biscayne hinted at a few future Corvette styling nuances. The essence of the Chevrolet Corvair is evident in rear views of this concept. The sedan's 'Stratospheric' wraparound windshield curved into the roofline which in turn flowed rearward into triangular-shaped C-pillars. Chevrolet's new V8 was prominently featured. Partially restored, the Biscayne is making its first public appearance in half a century.
