Was this a concept? Because the production version didn’t look like that. Similar themes, but some significant differences (that probably could not realistically be mass produced in that era)

EDIT: fixed “could realistically be mass produced” to “could not realistically be mass produced”)

Yeah this became their dust buster van, didn't it? They badged them as both Pontiacs and Chevrolets IIRC.

You know, I tend to completely forget that Oldsmobile ever existed.

Yea, this is a concept drawing before production.

I remember seeing this and thinking how did they make an AMC Pacer, only worse?
