Concept car
A
concept car is a prototype to review a new vehicle's looks and possible construction techniques before production. They are often shown at motor shows to gauge customer reaction to new and innovative designs. Many have gone into production although one unused but operational concept car that languished for years in the North Hollywood, California shops of car customizer George Barris,
Ford Motor Company's "Lincoln Futura" from 1954, received a new lease on life as the Batmobile in the
Batman series that debuted in 1966 on the
ABC Television Network. Like the Futura, many concept cars are driveable. Others are inoperative "mock-ups" of wax, clay, fiberglass and/or plastic.
