Amazing Gravity Cars By General Motors


Although not very practical, these significance cars were designed by General Motors for a Southern California Gravity race series. The event was a fund rising meant for charity purposes and had invited all the Southern California studios to vie with their self designed vehicles.

The cars you see in the pictures were designed and fashioned at the 5350 General Motors studio for the race series. After the race, the cars were auctioned and the collected money was donated. The bad part was that the fundraising didn’t quite live up to the hope so the whole purpose lost its course. But, apart from that we did get to see a couple of good cars out there. Sincerely, these cars were the best ones amongst all. They looked sleek and the designs were futuristic. Possibly that was the major reason why it grabbed the attention of the press.
