I'm glad the Fiero didn't look like that:

The 89 coupe began to evolve into something like that.  Reminded me of the Buick Reatta.

Last one isn't bad looking.  Best '89 I've ever seen.  And I see the Reatta-look.

Yes, the bottom 2 bear more than a passing resemblance to a Reatta, but are the same model.  The top one is the 2+2, which is now a fastback.

The top one was only a buck.  Not a real car.  The other two were concept drawings.  This is the real car.



I met a guy at one of the Polar Bear Runs who was into Reattas.  He also thought the design came from Pontiac.

I don't believe so.  Those are totally different cars.  The top one (2-tone brown) has a back seat.  It's an '84.  The bottom 2 are clay models.

You're correct.  I saved the images a year or two ago from an article on the concept cars.  The top one does have the bumper pads, but it might have been as late as 85.  I don't believe there was an 86 base coupe with pads, was there?  I wouldn't think they'd be playing with a 4-seater in the initial stages of the car.

GM made one 2+2.  It was originally 2 separate cars.  The purpose was to show the strength of the space frame.  Its V6 is an early model, and no recalls have been performed on it.  GM had a bunch of extra '84 models with no VIN's sitting around that couldn't be licensed, so GM put them to use.

More info here and here.

Charlie, I think there were bumperpads in 86. That was the last of them, probably made so tjey could use up leftover parts

I only saw 57 pages, but cleaned them up a bit.  Future viewers can find them here.

We don't have the PDF plugin on this site (bandwidth reasons), so you'll have to download the full PDF to view.
