Not bad! It show a resemblance to the first-gen Corvette, around the tail lights & trunk (boot) lid.

It said two that they're sure of and perhaps a third one (whatever that means).

The front of the '55 Olds looks very much like this car, the rear is definitely Corvette, though the production car kept a highly toned down version of this look with the bullet tail lights.

They were built for GM's Motorama, a touring show of dream cars from GM's division.
The shows were used to drum up public interest in the company's production cars.

Even the trucks used to haul the show, know as "Futureliners," were high style.
