A friend of mine bought this off of Ebay and wanted to share it with everyone. Pretty cool historical information of the car's development.

well technically it started in 1994 on everything except lumina, with notable exceptions of the 95+ lumina/MC reverting back to drum for awhile on base models (should give you an idea of how confident gm was in their old calipers ) and then went as late as 1997 on the cutlass that was kept on the gen1 platform and was it 98? or 99? when the 1.5 gen lumina/MC was discontinued. where it starts is kinda odd and where it ends is kinda fuzzy.

I like the bottom half of the car more than what we got for the base model cars, but I like the more aggressive cladding the SE and GTP cars got, it really screams late 80s/early 90s and makes the cars look as distinct as they do.

Shame that the engineers at PMD did not keep this overall design for the flanks for the GP..... Everything above the beltline is the same as what went into production but all below that was tossed. This prototype is more in tune with the sides of the other 3 cars of the 1st gen platform, the sides are smoother, do not fold in at the bottom, more complete coverage all of the wheels, body does not taper in at the front and rear. That's a really good looking car, too bad it wasn't kept as it sits.

The automotive news show motorweek holds marathons for their older seasons on Youtube and one of the episodes they played had this spy shot of a Grand Prix prototype that I haven't seen anywhere else. I wonder if they still have the picture in their archives.
