Re: Post pics of intersting and/or forgotten concept cars of the past!
After seeing alot of GM concepts on this thread it made me realize that GM puts rear suicide doors on alot of their concepts eventhough the Saturn Ion Quadcoupe is currently the only GM production 'car' that uses them.
Go back and count how many GM concepts have rear suicide doors in this thread, I think you might be surprised.

1979 Probe I Concept
1980 Probe II Concept
1981 Probe III Concept (looks like the Merkur XR4Ti don't it!)
1983 Probe IV Concept
1985 Probe V Concept
Even today, the Probe V remains the most aerodynamic driveable car in the world, with a Cd of .137. Ford claimed it could cruise at 50mph on just 5hp - 2 of which were used to break head pressure, the rest were drivetrain losses and electrical power consumed!!!

A blown Vulcan 3.5 in that car with a 6-spd would ROCK IMO.
