4 What happens when you cross a Morgan Areo and a C7? Eadon Green's second art deco wonder, the Zeclat is a running prototype instead of being just a show car. Here's the plan for the wildest Corvette Grand Sport you've ever seen. Last year, Felix Eaton managed to shock the experienced Geneva audience with his Rolls-Royce-based Black Cuillin, only to return in 2018 with a somewhat more feasible proposition.
