Paging through the September '03 (current) copy of High Performance Pontiac I
ran across a four page article on the 1955 GMC L'Universelle. This is a
one-off show vehicle that GMC toured that year. It is about mini-van size,
front wheel drive and uses a 287" Pontiac V8/Hydra-Matic mounted backwards for
power. The front end looks like a mixture of Caddy/Pontiac/Chevy parts while
the rear has one set of 55 Chevy tail lights over a second set with clear
lenses for back up lights that are upside down. Rear bumper looks like Chevy
Nomad/Pontiac Safari as does the "B" pillar.
oletrucks is devoted to Chevy and GM trucks built between 1941 and 1959
