1956 Pontiac Club de Mer

The 1956 Pontiac Club de Mer was an exceptional concept car that never saw the light of day.

This beauty was created for the General Motors Motorama in 1956, and sadly, never saw the light of day as a production car.

We thinks it’s one of the sexiest concept cars of the era, a low-slung, small roadster, with dual bubble windshields, and a bright red interior.

Dramatic chrome strips run the length of the hood and reach over the front of the hidden headlights.  In the rear, a giant single tailfin erupts out of the trunk like a shark fin.

Sadly, GM decided to scrap plans for this stunning little car, and only a single model of it exists today.
