The only creation of Lost Cause was a Chevrolet Corvair-based limousine, equipped with all imaginable luxury equipment. The seats and roof were covered with black leather, the dashboard was made of Kentucky walnut. The instruments in the dashboard were supplemented by an altimeter, a compass, a timer and various fittings for use in the rally sport. Also included were a picnic set and a suitcase set.
