1955 Cadillac Eldorado Picture, Classic Car Pictures

But those headlights and the main body line ('hip line from headlight to tail light) slightly curved stance are look very Fiat to me. Like so:

So, given that these are concepts like you said I'm going to say it's one of two:

1. A Fiat Spyder concept in collaboration with Cadillac?

OR (and #2 is FAR more likely as the Italians were way ahead in design and curved body panel manufacturing technology back in the day):

2. A Cadillac concept built in collaboration with Fiat?

Damn you and these super difficult cars to figure out!!! :
Thorough.

Good guess, but that is an Excalibur (built on the Corvette chassis). The Zimmer Golden Spirit has a similar body but a different grill and the windshield rake (angle) is much sharper...

I recognize the Maserati (wheels), but what's the second one? Looks like an early version of the R8 but no Audi logo?

That Stout looks like its based on a military truck chassis! Read on Wikipedia that it had an aluminum unibody..in 1936!! Supposed to be an office on wheels, this guy was WAY ahead of his time! apart from eight metal ones, there was a fibre glass one too with air suspension. So he was ahead of the 'ricer' curve

EDIT: You know how you've always thought a word was spelled a certain way or a song lyric said one thing and YEARS later you find out it was something different....well I always thought (probably for 15 years now) that it was pINNIfarina and today I realized it's spelled pININfarina!!!!!!

Good eye. The wheels are definitely Maserati wheels. It's a 1974 Maserati Bora, I don't know much about it but I like the design.

The second one is not an Audi. Hint: You just figured out how to spell the first word in the name after 15 years.

Had to rub it in didn't ya!!! That a Pininfarina Nautilus (wouldn't have gotten it w/out hint though). Based on Peugeot 605, but if you ask me it looks like the R8 borrowed some design elements from it (including led strips under headlights)...

My fault, I did give it away early.

Nice Pantera it almost looks like a Lambo.
