Never seen these before

Was trawling the net and came across this pic.  A couple in the pic I never knew existed. Anybody know anything about some of the cars in this shot?.............

I've seen that shot before, probably in one of my DVDs on Corvette history.

The wagon is the Corvette Nomad concept vehicle, unveiled at the GM Motorama 1954  ... back in the heyday of Harley Earl.

Aren't they BMW's ?

What about the one below that? It looks like a fast back.

If they weren't destroyed they may have ended up here:

The reason any concept cars have survived is usually because a GM employee disobeyed/disregarded a destroy order and hid the car somewhere in GM's vast storehouses for years, if not decades.

I gather that was also displayed at the 1954 Motorama:
