1954 Corvette Corvair Motorama Clone Project
1954 Corvair Fastback

The 1954 Motorama Corvair Fastback showcar is a one of a kind fastback 1954 Corvette. The name Corvair is a combination Corvette and Bel Air. The exact number of Corvair Fastbacks is unknown. Some speculate that there were two Corvair Fastbacks: a seafoam green one which shows up white in these pictures and a maroon one which shows up as a dark version in these pictures. Others believe that there was only one and it was painted seafoam green to start then repainted maroon later. Unfortunately, the photographs were not dated so we will probably never know.

The Corvair Fastback was a show car and to create it, they built the roof on a regular Corvette body. It isn't truly a fastback as there isn't an open interior like you would expect - just the roof sitting on a regular Corvette body! The pictures that I have show that the area behind the seats is identical to a regular convertible Corvette with a the storage space for the non existent convertible top!
