1989 Plymouth Voyager III “On a raised platform is the Plymouth Voyager III concept vehicle, created with separating front and back modular units. Three passengers could ride in the smaller car that was powered by a 1.6-liter propane-fuel engine. The 4-wheel rear section was equipped with a 2.2-liter 4-cylinder, and when the front and rear units were connected, there was room for 8-adults passengers.” Presented at the Chicago Auto Show.

1985 Cadillac Cimarron “There’s not much good to be said of the production Cadillac Cimarron. Meant to be smaller and sportier than the rest of the land yacht line-up to compete against European sedans, it was built on GM’s FWD J-Platform (same as the Chevy Cavalier.) It was despised by the typical Cadillac buyer so much that the Cimarron was not even included in most of Cadillac’s line-up sales brochures until near the end of its lifespan when it was finally given a 130 HP V6 engine instead of the 88 HP Inline 4. By then it was too late and the Cadillac name had been tarnished. The Cimarron nameplate was done. Cadillac didn’t attempt another smaller, sporty sedan in the US for another decade when it released the Catera. This concept was built on the J-platform, making it FWD and powered by a multi-port fuel-injected 2.8L V6. That’s about where the similarities to a production Cimarron ended. That 2.8 sat under a one-piece clamshell hood. The body was completely custom, featuring a second cowl and windshield between the front and rear passenger compartments, a design tribute to the 1931 Cadillac Fleetwood Dual Cowl Phaeton. The suspension used Delco Bilstein struts all around and rolled on custom 2-piece Alcoa wheels wrapped in 255/50VR16 Goodyear Eagle tires. The interior featured two integrated TV’s for the front and rear passengers. There was a car phone with the microphone integrated into the steering wheel, to allow hands-free use while driving.” Visit: www.story-cars.com #storycars #cadillac #cimarron #1985 #conceptcars #conceptcar #classiccars #classiccar #rarecar #rarecars #carvideo #carvideos ▪️Send an email for credit or removal requests (no copyright intended).

1959 Curtiss-Wright Model 2500 Air-Car Following the end of World War II, the United States military invested a great deal of money in developing new hardware offering tactical advantages on future battlefields. One of the concepts the Army Transportation Research Command evaluated was the 1960 Curtiss-Wright Model 2500 Air Car. This 21-foot-long, 8-foot-wide, 5-foot-tall contraption was everything that Luke Skywalker's land speeder would promise 17 years later—stylish driving without the burden of wheels. Curtiss-Wright was and remains an aerospace and defense supplier with experience in aircraft development. Following the war, the military had a keen interest in improving amphibious landing and transport craft. The Air Car was developed with that need in mind. Since the United States hadn't perfected repulsor lift technology yet, Curtiss-Wright had to go in a different direction, creating what was termed a 'Ground Effects Machine' (GEM), which we now know as a hovercraft.

1959 Brook Stevens Scimitar “Famed auto designer Brooks Stevens created three Scimitar models for display at the 1959 Geneva Auto. The other two models were a Hard-Top Convertible and a Town Car Phaeton. All three cars were built on a 1959 Chrysler New Yorker Chassis. The cars received great attention and acclaim. The cars were financed by Olin Aluminum and extensive use of the lightweight metal was used to construct the car. The silver-appearing areas are anodized, brushed aluminum. The car’s name is derived from the Scimitar shape, clearly evident in the upward sweep from the lower front fender to the top of the rear fender. The cars were never produced or offered for sale. This car is on display at the National Automobile Museum in Reno, NV. Scimitar Town Car Phaeton — Named for the scimitar-like shape of its pride, this is one of three Scimitar vehicles designed by Brooks Stevens for the 1959 Geneva auto show (the others were a station wagon and a two-door with a tractable hardtop). The aluminum bodywork (placed over a 1959 Chrysler New Yorker chassis by Reuter) was commissioned by Olin Aluminum Corp. to show the benefits of its metal. The roof over the passenger compartment could be lowered into the trunk to create a four-door convertible.” Visit: www.story-cars.com #storycars #scimitar #1959 #brookstevens #conceptcars #conceptcar #classiccars #classiccar #rarecar #rarecars #carvideo #carvideos ▪️Send an email for credit or removal requests (no copyright intended).

1980’s Moller M200G “Though the M200G and its variants have been under development since the 1980s, Moller claims it's still working on verification and approval from the appropriate regulatory agencies before production (and hence, sales to the public) can begin. The M200G Volantor is a prototype of a flying saucer-style hovercraft, designed by aeronautics engineer Paul Moller. The vehicle is envisioned as a precursor to the Moller M400 Skycar. The M200G Volantor uses a system of eight computer-controlled fans to hover up to 10 feet (3 m) above the ground. Volantor is a term coined by Moller meaning "a vertical takeoff and landing aircraft." The M200G Neuera is a circular craft with seats in the middle for two passengers and a control panel. The vehicle is 3 feet (0.9 meters) tall and 10 feet (3 meters) in diameter. Eight Wankel rotary engines power eight enclosed fans. The fans allow for vertical take-off and landing and, once the vehicle is aloft, rely upon the ground effect to create a cushion of air that the vehicle sits upon while flying. The eight separate engines exist for redundancy, allowing the craft to continue flying if one engine goes out. If two engines go out, the craft will make a survivable hard landing. The engines can be powered with gasoline, diesel, or ethanol fuels.” Visit: www.story-cars.com #storycars #mollerm200g #ufo #skycar #moller #conceptcars #conceptcar #classiccars #classiccar #rarecar #rarecars ▪️Send an email for credit or removal requests (no copyright intended).

1968 Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale The Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale is a mid-engined sports car built by Italian car manufacturer Alfa Romeo. It is one of the world's first supercars; it was the fastest commercially available car for the standing kilometer when introduced. 18 examples were produced between 1967 and 1969. "Stradale" (Italian for "road-going") is a term often used by Italian car manufacturers to indicate a street-legal version of a racing car; indeed, the 33 Stradale was derived from the Tipo 33 sports prototype. Also, it’s got a 2.0 L V8 and a 6-speed manual transmission.

1959 Cadillac Cyclone The black points on the leading edge of the front fenders hid a radar-based guidance system meant to interact with future “smart roads,” and the concept even boasted an untested proximity warning system that would relay an alert to the driver of oncoming obstacles. Powered by Cadillac’s 390-cu.in., 325-hp V-8, the Cyclone appeared at various car shows after the Daytona 500 and was a part of GM’s popular Motoramas, which operated until 1961.

1972 Michelin Citroen Centipede In 1972, Michelin needed a way of testing its truck tires at high speed but was worried about the danger involved with big-rig blowouts. The answer was this massively modified Citroen DS. Its official name is the Poids Lourd Rapide, which loosely translates as the 'fast truck,' but the French nicknamed it 'milles-pattes' - 'centipede.' Michelin owned Citroen at the time, so they raided the parts bin to create the PLR. Most of the bodywork was stolen from a DS Safari, while the wheels and hubs came from an H van. Naturally, with so many wheels on the ground, a lot of power was needed. This came in the form of two 5.7-liter Chevrolet V8s. One of these engines powered the rear six wheels, while the other powered the mid-mounted truck wheel fitted with a test tire. The front four wheels were responsible for steering. The PLR's top speed was 111mph, which isn't bad considering it weighed an incredible ten tonnes.
