  1. The Bobby Darin “Dream Car” is a one-of-a-kind custom car designed by Detroit clothing designer Andy Di Dia in 1953 and completed in 1960. Mr. Di Dia apparently did not care for the design of automobiles in the early 1950’s. The Di Dia 150 was hand-built by four workers in Detroit, Michigan between 1953 and 1960 at a cost of over $93,000 dollars. The original Cadillac V8 engine was replaced by a Ford 427/365 hp V8 engine. #weirdcarmastodon #cadillac #oldtimer #conceptcar

  9. 25 years ago, the future looked like this De Tomaso Pantera 2000. A concept car designed by Marcello Gandini to mark the company's 40th anniversary. It was intended to bring the Pantera name into the 21st century but never made it into production, with the company eventually closing in 2004 following the death of founder Alejandro De Tomaso in 2003. #conceptcar #weirdcarmastodon Source, carsthatnevermadeitetc.tumblr.com

  10. Ford 24.7 concept, 2000. A modular design study for a coupe, wagon, and pickup that previewed future automotive technology, focusing on continuous connectivity and personalisation.

  11. Dodge Turbo Charger PPG Concept, 1981. Fitted with a turbo-charged 2.2 litre Chrysler 4 cylinder engine, the concept was used as a pace car for the 1981 PPG Indy Car World Series. #dodge #conceptcar #pacecar #weirdcarmastodon Source, carsthatnevermadeitetc.tumblr.com

  12. 35 years ago, the future looked like this: Bugatti ID 90 Concept, 1990, by Italdesign. Giugiaro’s proposal for the relaunch of the brand by Bugatti Automobili S.p.A. featured a very elongated glass dome contained within a single rounded curve. The car was surprisingly compact at 4.1 m in length and 1.84 m wide. The style of the alloy wheels was a homage to the Bugatti Royale of 1926. Italdesign’s prototype remained a one-off. #bugatti #weirdcarmastodon #conceptcar

  13. 40 years ago: Tokyo, 1985; 85 Isuzu COA-2 Concept. A mid-engined test bed whose name stood for “Challenge of Advanced Engineering,” that was powered by a 16-valve DOHC turbocharged 1.6-litre engine driving all four wheels. If it seemed like it was Isuzu’s counter to Toyota's MR2, it never made it into Isuzu’s dealerships. #conceptcar #isuzu #weirdcarmastodon Source, carsthatnevermadeitetc.tumblr.com

  14. 40 years ago: Tokyo 85 Mitsubishi MP-90X Concept, 1985. A highly aerodynamic prototype coupé with navigation and telecommunications systems that were revolutionary for the time. It was powered by a 1.3-litre engine with 4-wheel drive and 4-wheel steering. Like the Mazda, it had a yoke rather than a steering wheel.

  15. Mercedes Art Deco Concept Car

    ©Copyright Mercedes-Benz

    the automobile draws design cues from the Mercedes-Benz Typ 540K Autobahn-Kurier, the company’s 1938 roadster with an elongated front, ballooned wheel arches, large round headlights, and a sloping-down roof to the rear.

    Reminds me of the Duesenberg Coupé Simone and that‘s a good thing.

  21. Kia KMS-4 Concept, 1997. Presented at the New York Auto Show, a prototype for a compact sports coupé with a 151hp DOHC 2.0 litre engine. This was around the time that Kia declared bankruptcy during the Asian financial crisis so even though the KMS-4 was "production ready" it never made it into Kia's showrooms. In 1998 the Hyundai Motor Company secured a 51% stake in its ailing rival and Kia's future was secured. Source, carsthatnevermadeitetc.tumblr.com #weirdcarmastodon #conceptcar #kia
