I loved concept cars... a time when the designers imagination could run wild.
If you study the back end of that particular Buick, you'll see where the inspiration for the corvette came from.
Wow, it's just as interesting as the front!

Kind of glad most of the 56 Buick idea's never got past the concept board. 
Now, there were some things about it that were interesting...
A spectacular four-passenger coupe with a fiberglass body and an all-glass top, the red and white Centurion dream car was equipped with a television camera mounted in the trunk. A receiver on the instrument panel displayed images from the camera, thereby rendering the rear view mirror obsolete. The camera was mounted in a tail cone inspired by a jet fighter, a recurring theme in concept cars of the ’50s. A 325-hp V-9 engine provided thrust.
