Fastback Pontiac- Concept 1965

[Falcon Ranchero]

Found this a while back. It's some concept fastback grafted on to a regular full-size Pontiac. I find it very visually appealing, in my opinion. Would've been cool if it made it to production. What do you dudes think

Kinda like the boat tail Riviera. Or the G2 Sting Ray Vette.

its pretty cool looking, but leaning the c pillar forward would clean up the look. that one vertical line takes away from the flow of the body and makes it look slower

I like the roof but the rear end with the trunk vents and the stock rear bumper and taillights just don't look right. It would be Kool if those vents were the taillights and a custom rearend treatment.

Thanks for the picture

I like it just fine the way it is.  

I like pie too.  ?

More curves on this Riviera's rear bumper than we see on a whole car nowadays.

I like curves...

Take a closer look guys, there ain't nothing "stock" anywhere on that body of that car.

It is a cool idea. However, this one has too many vents to suit me and those pregnant rear quarters are a bit much.

The tail lights and bummer, maybe even the rear 1/4 panels a little have an awfully - 1972 Chrysler New Port look to them

Bill Mitchell sure loved his boattails.

Skip the trunk vents, and I think I'd wrap the rear window through the C-Pillars like the Riviera.  I wouldn't want to have to parallel park it as is.  ?  As it is, the C-Pillar keeps grabbing my eye.  It's so prominent.

We had a guy in the club who is no longer with us. He was the master at creating cars like that.

His nick name was Slice 'N Dice. At his wake he had some modeling tools in the casket with him.

I donated a new Zona razor saw with his nick name laser etched on it. Ought to be a hoot when someone digs him up in 10,000 years.

Another example of the whole being lesser than the sum of its parts. I believe this is a test bed of all the style influencers of the coming generation of cars placed on one 3D, walk-around presentation.

I Like it!  More Fast Back cars. Thanks for sharing.

It's a legitimate GM concept car from 1963, the Pontiac XP-765, not AI generated.
