Pretty much all we ever see anymore of L’Universelle, the GM concept truck of 1955, is the same color photograph and the same brief one-paragraph description, usually contained within broader articles about GM show cars. We almost never see any in-depth treatment of L’Universelle, establishing the concepts behind it and the parties involved in its creation. Nor do we ever see any mention that GMC went ahead and actually built two test mules of a possible production version. That’s probably because Dave Newell and Robert L. Hauser gave us the entire story back in SIA #70, August 1982.
