Concept car mysteries

"Some men see cars as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask WTF?"

1. Guess the make  2.  Guess the year Answer:  This is a 1954 Pontiac Bonneville concept car.  Over the years, this kind of thing has made my head hurt.  Why did this car with the faux gull wings blow away  visitors to GM's Parade of Progress that year?  Because it's beautiful.  Mercedes Benz introduced its gull winged 300SL the same year, and it's still one of the most desired cars ever made.   This is what the actual '54 Pontiac looked like. It wasn't until four years later that the  Bonneville was introduced. Note the similarities to the concept. Both have four wheels. BTW, I thought the '58 Bonnie was so very, very  cool, but that same year I saw a 300 SL at the Maryland State Fair, and could scarcely breathe.  No contest.  Hell, GM could have plopped a 90 HP straight 6 engine into this concept, used standard  suspension, steering, and blah, blah,  Delco radio, and ruled the automotive world.  Hell, they prolly still could.  Whoops.  No more Pontiac.
