Roadster
 
The name Herb Adams is legendary among Pontiac and GM performance enthusiasts. he was instrumental in the development of the Pontiac Trans Am cars and the Super Duty engines.

Shortly after graduating from the GM Institute, he did the Vivant as a design study. As a result of a fortunate meeting with some Rolls-Royce body craftsmen, he was able to bring his vision to life. The stunning and futuristic all-aluminum body was totally hand formed. Power was from a very special Pontiac V8.

It made its debut at the Detroit Autorama where it was highly lauded. After several other show appearances, the car disappeared from view. It made its first public showing at the 2011 Glenmoor Gathering of Significant Automobiles.
