In 1938, Buick unveiled the Y-Job, a futuristic (for the time) vehicle that previewed the brand’s aspirations for upcoming designs; many will argue it gave birth to the idea of a “concept car.”
While incredible to look at, however, concept cars aren’t usually drivable. Instead, they’re more akin to automotive sculpture designed not with practicality in mind, but simply how best to make you dream about what the future could hold.
Most concept cars are destined for the crusher, as they’re just glorified statues that represent the artist’s vision, but sometimes the vehicles are saved by the company; other times, by lucky enthusiasts.
