During The ICE in St. Moritz I have filmed this One-off 1965 Pontiac Vivant 77.
A one-off US prototype built by Herb Adams, Pontiac engineer, as a side project, is a car inspired by Alfa Romeo's B.A.T (Berlinetta Aerodinamica Tecnica) concepts. Equipped with a Pontiac 6.0 liter V8 engine, for the Roadster coachwork Adams partnered with three British craftsmen, Harry Kennedy, Jack Henser, and John Glover – nicknamed
"The Beatles of Troy" – to create the car's complex
aluminum body. Completed in late 1965, it debuted at the 1966 Detroit Autorama, capturing attention with its unique styling, futuristic lines and aerodynamic flair, but it soon faded from the spotlight. Rediscovered in 2009 for its historical importance, the car received a full restoration in 2014 by JEM Motorworks, Loveland, Colorado, with electronic ignition installed, returning to the public stage at the 2017 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where it took first place in the "American Dream Cars of the 1960s" category. The car has been exhibited at 2019 Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este on Lake Como, Italy, and at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles from 2022 to 2023. Further affırming its historical significance, the Vivant was awarded a Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens (FIVA) identity card in April 2019, cementing its place among the most important one-off automotive creations of its era: a masterpiece that captures the spirit of mid-century innovation.
