Studebaker Champion prototype?

You are right up to a point, in that it is indeed a Studebaker Champion, but it's only a mock-up and there is something distinctive about it that sets it apart from other Champions, either prototypes or production cars, which I need before I can award that point.  What is it?

Relationship between Tremulis and Exner? It seems from this came the design of Tucker.

Nothing to do with the people - it's the car that differs in a particular way.

It's not denial, I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.

Yes! That's what I was looking for!
Maybe it did influence the Tucker?  I don't know..

Built in '43, this mock-up predates the Tucker and the DS. Here's a rear view.

Yes, hard to believe it's from 1943.  They seem to have gone downhill for some time after that...

People who would buy a '58 Chevrolet Impala would surely buy anything?!!!

You would be surprised... (I think it was to far ahead for the time to get public appeal, see Chrysler Airflow)

Yes, I agree, I was only joking!
People are notoriously conservative when it comes to actually paying for something avante-garde.
They do like to play safe!
