Re: Is this Cadillac's Coupe?

You know what I think? I think there's a better chance of a Caddy coupe than a GTO coupe.

Thumbs up Re: Is this Cadillac's Coupe?

That's a GM design collage. The center is a GM designed vehicle, and it's surrounded by various vehicles that designers used for influence and/or various closeups of the vehicle's design elements.

Right below the blue car are 2 other views of the same car.

It's a safe bet that it isn't a Cadillac. It doesn't have a Pontiac grille. I can see it being a Buick, a Holden, or an Opel-Vauxhall.

Being that there isn't anything saying the car in the picture was a discarded idea or one that's being refined, I wouldn't rule out it being a idea for a Chevrolet.


Finally, the car under the cover looks a dead ringer for a Cadillac coupe, but it also has the same beltline as the blue car in the drawing does. You can very clearly see the bottom edge of the windows, and how it also severely sweeps upwards starting at the rearview mirrors.... again, just like the drawing of the blue car, but seemingly more angular than smoothly. The car under the cover has Chrysler 300-like exaggerated bulges around the wheel openings.
sounds like it could be an idea for a future Malibu or Epsilon coupe? It looks beautiful whatever it is. I agree with your assessment on the car under covers. that car looks amazing already. we are witnessing the design rebirth!

Re: Is this Cadillac's Coupe?

If it's the same "car under the cover" that was discussed about in the C&G chat tonight then it's a Chevrolet.

You can clearly see the Chevrolet emblem in one of the pictures that is on the C&G website. Furthermore, in one of the shots you can see headlamps.

The "other car" under the cover is a Chevrolet. I'll bet it.
