Ill-Fated Auto Design: Making a Four-Door 1980 Corvette by Cutting Two of Them in Half and Sticking Them Back Together
The Fourvette?
By Rain Noe - November 15, 2018
Have a look at this "1980 Chevy Corvette Four Door [That] Can't Be Unseen," which is currently being sold for a whopping $217,203.

"Chevrolet had actually planned on making this family minded sports car at a rate of 40 per year, and to call it 'Corvette America.' It was designed by California Custom Coach in Pasadena. The one prototype and five production cars that were assembled were built by cutting two cars in half which, when mated together, extended the wheelbase of the vehicle by 30 inches."

I’m a lapsed industrial designer. I was born in NYC and figured I’d die there, but a few years ago I abandoned New York to live on a farm in the countryside with my wife. We have six dogs.

How is this any different than the Porche Panamera...?!
The Panamera is faster, handles better, looks better, and costs less! Lol
The proportions are a bit skewed....lol
Not for Batman.
