Nice lines! Why do it not go into production?

From the pictures it's a V6, not an inline-6...

....Good spot. Actually, it's a V8 dressed up to look like an early 50's GM "Blue Flame Six" I-6.

The actual Corvette Corvair Prototype car is missing, presumed gone/crushed for good. The car in OP is a period-correct replica. Here's more in depth story behind the build:

I'm glad this one remained a concept, the rear looks terrible IMO.

Because no one was buying Corvettes as it was. They had a limited run in 1953 to make sure it was production feasible (during which they had tons of quality problems), and then they ramped up to full scale production in 1954... and people didn't buy them. Then in 1955 the Thunderbird came out and it was over.
