Autoblog had a little article on how there was another Camaro concept that was nixed by Rick Wagoner at the last minute. To quote the article
"Apparently, the NAIAS showstopper was originally destined to be even more of a throwback than it is, but a last-minute Wagoner walkthrough nixed a finished original for mining the nameplate's past a little too closely.
A second design team was brought in under GM's Ed Welburn (VP of global design), and the two combined to create the design that sallied forth earlier this week to great acclaim in Detroit."
Is there any truth to this and what did the "original" look like?
