If I remember right that's the concept that morphed into the Corvair
Greenbrier van by time the accountants got done with it.

Paging through the September '03 (current) copy of High Performance Pontiac
I ran across a four page article on the 1955 GMC L'Universelle.  This is a
one-off show vehicle that GMC toured that year.  It is about mini-van size,
front wheel drive and uses a 287" Pontiac V8/Hydra-Matic mounted backwards
for power.  The front end looks like a mixture of Caddy/Pontiac/Chevy parts
while the rear has one set of 55 Chevy tail lights over a second set with
clear lenses for back up lights that are upside down.  Rear bumper looks
like Chevy Nomad/Pontiac Safari as does the "B" pillar.
