10 Incredible Vintage Concept Cars

June 30, 2019

9. Pontiac Banshee I

While the Banshee name has been used by Pontiac for a wide range of concept cars, its the first one that we’re most interested in. A pet project of John DeLorean, you can see some of his signature style points in how this car looks. The flowing curves and rounded grille are things of beauty, as is the short deck that makes the car look positively European. Some of its styling cues were sourced from the Corvette C3, which was then in its planning phase, but the rear axle is solid.

There were two different versions of the Banshee produced. One was a coupe, made of fiberglass, finished in silver, which rocked a straight-six, the other a white convertible with a 326 V8. Both are now owned by private collectors. DeLorean wanted to bring this car into production as a Mustang killer, but GM were worried that doing so would sabotage the Corvette. As such, it never saw the light of day, and the Corvette would go on to rule the GM roost. It’s a shame: healthy competition never caused too many problems, and this concept is absolutely stunning.
