Not bad. I wouldn't really call this a kit car though, since it's not copying anything. It's more of a phantom body, since it's blending '54 Corvette and '55 Chevy Nomad.

it's not copying anything. It is. It's a modern tribute to the Nomad Corvette, a concept shown at the 1954 GM Motorama.  |

Is it just me or does the blue example appear to have a noticeably longer wheelbase behind the doors?
Doesn't look quite right.
I WANT blue/green window tint like the grey car though!

Wow, dbizzle, I stand corrected! I had never heard of that show car! It looks amazing.

kit car doesn't have to be a copy of anything. Look at the kit car market with its bizarre one of styling exercises....
Replica is the word I think you meant.
And this I like either way.
I'm not sure the blue car and the grey one are the same vehicle as, unless its an optical illusion, as has already been pointed out, the wheelbases look different.

There was a modified version built years ago (mid 90s iirc) on a Corvette chassis. Looked like the top one but in gloss black.

Surely a kit car is just...a car built from a kit? There have always been many many kit cars that aren't copies.
