Nice renderings of early '60's Chevy and Ford concepts - I wonder if any were ever actually built / sold (by Universal)?

Yes, that's what I thought too.
They are both clear rip-offs and I wondered if any were ever built; they probably waited to see how many orders they got before tackling any thoughts of producing any moulds!

There is evidence (a picture) of only one completed car, the Sebring, a GT40 clone...but being that a clone who can tell who did it!
