Buffalo Camaro Concept cardboard?

I was at the auto show in Buffalo NY and was able to reach past the cheap line and I spun the wheel cover? The wheel cover was either some cheap plastic or some kind of cardboard. It looked like the whole car was completely fake. This was my first time seeing the concept Camaro and I was disappointed. They where supposed to bring a Bumblee Camaro, but sadly there was some kind of fiberglass, plastic, and/or carboard type of car. Has anyone else seen this type of thing? Is this normal at car shows?

You need to go back and edit your post, I'm not understanding what you're trying to say. The whole car was cardboard? The rims were cardboard? The bumble bee camaro used to have wheel covers instead of the real rims, but I think the car now has the real rims on it.

From what I understand, no one has been allowed to sit in a concept camaro at any autoshow (well, not the general public) and you won't be able to sit in one until GM releases the production car.

Well first of all, the Bumble Bee wasnt at the Buffalo Auto Show.

It was the Red Fiberglass concept.

And secondly, how did you get close enough to "spend" the wheel, (I assume you mean spun). The car was roped off as you can see.

It's not like they have a bunch of functional cars to send out...they can't be at every car show. And what difference does it make...they are there just so you can see the car, not test drive it. So, your mad that the Z06 is a fully functional car, but not the Camaro...come on.

That's the same car as the St. Louis auto show. Those rims were really stupid. They actually stick out about 1/2" from the tires. Car was awesome though.

It doesnt matter if the car is a pusher or a driver, once it gets to a show it does the same thing. Sit there...

Weird, because when the red fiberglass car was at RevItUp this summer, it had real wheels on it that didn't stick out like that (looking at pics that I took). Did Bumblebee get the wheels off the red car and the red car got wheels off one of the Bumblebees?

I don't think so. But if you look at the picture up there ^^^ you can see the rims sticking out past the tires.
