Tornado concept car lates 50s. It sat on a Plymouth chassis and the RM auction describes it as the 1958 Plymouth Tornado Concept Car but others maintained that there’s no way Plymouth had a hand in it.

If they did they should have been thoroughly ashamed of themselves...!

And a couple more.  Someone, apparently overfinanced and aesthetically challenged, has restored this exercise in obscenity.   It's sick and wrong.
