1955 Chevrolet Biscayne XP-37 (Designer - Chuck Jordan)
The
Biscayne show car was built for the 1955 Motorama. It employed many
Corvette design ideas, and is presented to management as a new direction
for the Corvette. The body is a special shell of glass-fiber-reinforced
plastic for light weight and impact resistance. The Stratospheric
windshield sweeps over the driver’s head to form part of the roof. The
new four door design requires no center pillars.
The engines is
an experimental high compression Chevrolet V8 of 215 HP with dual
exhaust, four barrel carburetor and high lift cam.
