1956 Pontiac Club de Mers Concept Car Display Model

Pontiac Club de Mer Concept Car Studio Model

This little guy is one of the more rare, and interesting, tiny exotic cars on the list. The 1956 Pontiac Club de Mer Concept Car was toured around showing off the future of what Pontiac was producing back in the ‘50s. This junior vehicle was used as a 3/8 scale model that was displayed next to the full-sized vehicle. After the tour was complete, Harley Earl saved the model from being destroyed and converted it into an electric vehicle for his grandchildren.

There’s not much known about what’s under the hood of this little car, but that’s all secondary to the incredibly history and design of this vehicle. It’s retro-futuristic design is something truly special. The car recently sold at auction for just under $34,000.
