A classic car connaisseur tells the general history of the concept car. Why would a carmaker spend time and effort on making an ultra expensive and futuristic car that promises a lot of high tech, but rarely enters production? Why are we so carried away by these bizarre experimental vehicles? And happens after showing them on the car shows?

    Went to the 1993 Detroit Autorama, the Plymouth Prowler shown was pretty much what was manufactured in 1997. Down to the purple paint and the automatic transmission and V6 engine. Yes, the concept Prowler was loved until anyone looked at the center console with an automatic. Then crowd reaction was mixed. There was in 1999 the Plymouth Howler concept with a V8 and a five speed manual transmission but alas never made. I still love concept cars and thanks for another great video Ed!

    @@TheNightrider88 True enough, But in the 50's GM was bigger than the entire rest of the automobile industry (worldwide!), and had manual gearboxes as well as the then "hot" Olds "Rocket" V8 available, But since it was a Chevy project they "HAD" to use the "stovebolt 6" and they used the powerglide tranny as they were more interested in selling THAT than the Corvette itself. (NEW!! was THE "thing" in the '50s) And '90s Chrysler well... was Chrysler. Plus, I don't think that the Prowler was intended to be a proper "sports car," per se. It was the at the peak of the "modern retro" movement, And I think the Prowler was a "toy" for aging boomers who want a turn key "hot rod" more for appearance than "go". The Corvette is unique in as much as I don't believe GM designed it to sell, But the overwhelming public reaction to it "forced their hand". Still, for the price point and it's intention it should have been Oldsmobile's project (Olds being the "hot" division at the time- People forget this today)

Not the weird and wacky designs, but the ones that have real-world basis, or models, such as when Hot Wheels made a real life version of the Deora II, based on a toy car that was a sequel to the Dodge Deora die-cast car. It came full circle! Or maybe a video on licensing car models for toys or video games?

    I worked at Sid Avery Photography in Hollywood when we made the infamous Hot Wheels TV commercial that was banned by the FTC because we put you (the viewer) into the driver's seat as the car went around a curve on a track. It was a difficult shot (actually many single shots that became an animated sequence) that took all day and most of the night. Blew the client's mind -- and thrilled kids -- but since the toy could not do anything like that, it was banned. That was 1968 or 69.

    It's the same with science fiction films. Star Trek, the original series is showing a 1960s design, using sometimes clumsy devices that would be hard to justify even just half a century later (or a bit more). Being a train enthusiast, I've seen a few "concept trains" at InnoTrans. Those are either scale models or full-size mockups that don't go anywhere but you can get in and experience what the interior would be like.

    Harley Earl, yes. But his custom car works that predicted future styling predated 1938 by a wide margin. One of his earliest, and probably most influential automotive designs was that 1919 Pierce Arrow 66 A-4 tourer comissioned by Roscoe Arbuckle. Earl's sweeping body style was arguably the harbinger of automotive styling in the 20s. Although not a "show" car in the strictest sense (not featured at any autoramas, AFAIK) it WAS highly influential. Consider it, Ed.

    There is another reason why these concept cars might be kept away. A few years back I worked together with an automotive client. At some point I was requested to go to one of their testing grounds to photograph a number of 'heritage' vehicles for their social handles, which they had restored and kept in a warehouse. Upon opening the garage, I wasn't just greeted by these vehicles, but also a concept vehicle that had been presented to the public nearly 2 decades ago, which was supposed to be powered by 'ecological' engines. Except that, no engine had ever been installed. As a matter of fact, nothing on it was even functional, and was nothing more than just tubing with some tires. The steering didn't even function and the wheels had to be turned by hand. Sadly they also had two dozen of old heritage vehicles which hadn't been restored yet, and as far as I know the higher ups demanded them to be thrown away. I'm not sure what happened to them, as some say they were scrapped, while others say they might have been hidden away by some 'rebellious' staff members who felt that scrapping perfectly savable 40-70 year old vehicles was an attack on the brands heritage. I hope the latter is true.

    The Lincoln Futura is famous example of a concept car as it was basis car for the 1966 Batmobile from the 1966 Batman starring Adam West and Burt Ward. My favorite concept car was the Camatte which was an attempt by Toyota to market a car specifically for kids and this is given that they placed safety features such as safety control speed, braking and steering that was intended to be manually controlled by the parent sitting behind the rear of the child driver and this did had towing provisions for a potential capsule sized trailers.

    I went to every New York Auto Show from 1968 - 1972. I was a 10 - 14. I saw the GM Astro 3. That was amazing looking. Also the Astro 1. that was pretty snazzy.

    I read a book a long time ago (I don't remember the name) that told the story of a new paper columnist that saw Harley Earl driving the Y job in 1948 and he thought it was a secret new car and wrote an article about it. That's how revolutionary that car was.

    Well said and thought out Ed. You clearly see the effort and thought placed into this video. I think it is great. Some of those recent Cadillac concept cars should have gone into production like the Sixteen and the Ciel. There are others I am sure. Some did show the future styling themes like the Evoq, and Sceptre by Buick. The Park Avenue Essence show the 1991-1996 Buick Park Avenue. The Alero Alpha showed the Alero and the Antares showed the Intrigue. Thank you Ed.

    Hi Ed- Love your informative and entertaining videos! While growing up in Wisconsin during the 1970s my best friend was first generation American; both his parents were from the Netherlands so I also enjoy how you pronounce certain things! Not sure if anyone else mentioned that the “dream car” really got its start at the 1933 Century of Progress in Chicago (which was continued into 1934). Cadillac, Duesenberg, Studebaker had aerodynamic (by early ‘30s standards) limited production cars. Lincoln introduced a radical rear engine precursor to the Lincon-Zephyr, and Pierce-Arrow’s brought out the “suddenly it’s 1940” Pierce Silver Arrow.
