Wasn't that story in Vintage Truck this month or last? Big article, it looks
just like the Corvair van that came out later. Wimpy air-cooled engine in it
though, no V-8! Maybe it was some other mag like Custom Truck or ? Probly a
sister mag to the one you have. Seems when one mag from a company has a
story, each other ones get it or part of it to run in there's too.

> 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.
