Original Toronado styling concept artwork from stylist Charles H. Stewart currently on ebay. Certainly out of my price range, but pretty cool.

Cool, Thanks for sharing. I like the bottom one but would "think" the windshield would leak

A small price to pay for style.

Always loved these types of sketches. Its neat to see what styling cues made it into production. I have seen a bunch of Len Casillo's drawings of the 73 Cutlass and they are very similar and just as cool!

I'm not a fan of the big rear fender "tub" on some of these, but you do get a flavor of the "crease" on the 1970-72 Cutlass rear fenders. The second gold one with the black top hints at the 67 Eldo roof.

The second illustration hints at the grille of the '68 Cutlass and I think those down-turned tail lights in the third one made their way onto full size Pontiacs in the late '60s.

Always fascinating to see concept drawings and mock-ups, and then spot styling cues that were taken from them onto different production models.

Those bulges over the rear wheel wells was why I bought my 70 Cutlass. Always like that look.

You definitely have a good eye Joe... It is interesting, however, that some of the various design concepts do carry over from year to year or vehicle to vehicle, whether or not deliberate from a design standpoint or something that just unintentionally happened...
