What Is This?
Ok....but that's what I'm supposed to be doing also the second car there is a Corvette based Banshee it's XP-833, not 853. The interesting story about the 1966 Scorpian/Banshee is that is was never shown in public, It was on center stage for the 1966 New York unveiling, and they didn't show it because it was not feasible to produce, with all the cool features it had... it was taken off the main stage and never shown. It had powered doors with trapazoidal hinges, and too many other features to mention.

What Is This?
headlights pop out up by the cowl...and the car is clearly labled Scorpian... In some other pictures, when they changed the name, we could call it a Banshee did you look closely ....I have a excellent interior shot but its not scanned.. At the time those pictures were taken, it was technically a Scorpian=correct answer

What Is This?
INCORRECT. The first car pictured is a XP-798-Scorpian. It was later renamed Banshee, look closely at the script on the right side of the I/P and the rear deck lid. It was the 3rd gen Scorpian concept. I have documents from GM design staff archives that leave no doubt. You are correct about this car evolving into a production firebird tho. The second car pictured is a 1966 Banshee- different theme- which is XP-853...pay attention kids

What happened to pinned XP topic
XP-748 was a "Leprechaun" utility vehicle -LUV- hah. Concept from the early 60s, which was refined and renamed blazer shortly before production started...

Had dinner in my favorite place, Duggans Irish pub, overlooking WW just north of 13 mile...highly recommended.

The map is not done yet- But you head South, on Opdyke Rd 3 or so Miles 4km til you turn right to loop around and go South. Woodward runs good with heavy traffic in the Southbound lanes except really packed in between 15 and 13 mile. Northbound in almost always a parking lot, and I generally avoid it during cruise weekend. My spots are on the West side of Woodward, a few blocks North of 12 mile. NOS 696 might be best, or 16 mile across town and I-75 down to twelve. Using the mile roads and half mile roads works well for cruising for ex: One could take Coolidge to 13, go down the south lanes til Catalpa, which has just been paved, go west back to coolidge, right (north back up to 13 & WW That way you're not parked sucking fumes in the north lanes, always rolling, seeing lots of good stuff- the west side is also better because the wind almost always goes west to east, so again, no fumes. Northwood is at 13 and WW. pre cruise viewing is best at 13 1/2... every Saturday from now til September. Northwood is jammed full of cars the week preceding the cruise, I mean blowers, slicks, hemis, open exhaust. Autorama and magazine style cars are everywhere you look. Ford usually hangs out in Birmingham 14 1/2 -15 mile a block west of WW GM didn't have a huge display as usual last year, just lots of Trailblazers SS and some performance division stuff...I will find out more after shutdown ends

Whoever reads this should know I will update this thead almost weekly till theday of the cruise, on which I will capture more. I am toying with the idea of a C&G meet for those who want to see Woodward....The best time is the week before and the Friday eve before the cruise!....I happened to buy 5 spots for my brothers, friends for use mostly on Saturday, those C&G members who want a great spot on Friday, feel free to stop by about 200yds North of 12mile on the west side of Woodward I will have room to park and we rate the cars...MAYBE even Malibu rides...Saturday I usually don't drive alot...Mostly BBQing and lounging. I know American Revolution and Schuby 87 will be there so far I am also building nice map with some good "don't miss" things. If you are in for Friday Night parking let me know here, and on Saturday let me know if you can stop by for a pit stop! My brothers and friends will have their cars on these spots but I have one extra for spreading out and gear..I usually have extra cheeseburgers just because we get lots of vistors. Bring a chair on Friday Eve and No alchohol!
