That was an early show car not associated with any brand of GM car, a teaser.

If you can find copy of Febuary 2006 Collectable Automobile, there is a good Reatta history by Gary Witzenburg. It does not show this car but several other that were GM/Buick styling bucks that various ideas, lights and windows that were considered.

David McIntosh's original (winning) sketch had a much more tapered front and rear than the production car. According to David, like many ideas, it could not be put into production because it was mandated that the Reatta had to use roughly 70% Riviera content and the tapered design would not allow them to use some Riviera parts that were necessary to meet the goal .

The December 2008 Bugle has a page of McIntoshs sketches including the original.
