Looks like it's a replica. Here's the actual 1954 Chevrolet Corvair Concept car:

Never even noticed that. Good catch. It also means the rear window slats were added. When you ordered them from the factory, the twin sport mirrors were included due to some state regulations.

----The only noticeable changes I can see aside from its height and wheels and tires are,,, 1. no back-up lights and 2. the hatch marks on the front fenders. If it is a repro it's a damn good one. Would love to find out more about it as I feel the same as Lee!!!......Bill S

----Also just noticed that the door button on the black one is slightly higher!

I agree she is sexy.....but this car along with the real prototype lack some body misalignments that would drive me crazy.

I would use the body shell to make a custom chassis with a BBC and 6-71 Blower :-)
Now that would be Super Sexy!
