Can you name these cars?
It was never a production car, but the manufacturer named a production car after it with a very similar model name. It's from 1954, and there are styling clues in the pic. Please...no GoogleImage or other cheating; use you brain and knowledge:
This one is easier: It was a production car but for only one year. With a 300 horsepower engine living under the hood, it was not your Granny’s station wagon: This roadster was designed by the brilliant car designer, Harley Earl. Debuting at the 1955 Motorama, the roadster was one of two that made appearances, with the other built as a hardtop. Fun fact: The aluminum double overhead-cam, fuel-injected V6 that was installed in the car never ran. There is an easy styling clue that gives it away: |

1 and 3 look like some sort of concept vettes. 2 looks like a Bel Air. A concept Bel Air maybe?
Obviously, I'm just guessing. |

I had a 73 Centurion. I bought it in 1980 as a work car. It was a boat ... but a nice boat. The 455 got about 12 mpg.
