These "Concept Cars" are one off cars. Not a handful. They are hand built to showcase new styling and/or new technology. The first of this type of car was the Buick Y-Job built in 1938:

Yes, and no.

The Buick Y-Job is far from being the first of its type.
And the concepts are frequently, but not always, one-off cars.
While the Y-Job is widely considered the first concept made
largely for public display, the fundamental history of concepts
predates 1938 by a long shot.

Concept models can be traced to the beginnings of vehicle-making,
while it was later that they began to be displayed to the public.
They began as in-house experiments, and later made their way
into the public view.

Thanks for including the bit of recorded history for these cars. Was this the prototype for the Batmobile?

Beautiful photo and car
Timeless scene. You captured that very well.

I saw a picture or two of this car a few years before it was displayed
at the 2010 Meadow Brook Concours show, and when I learned that
it was to be displayed, I made sure to grab some photos.

With as crowded and well-attended as that year's event was,
I was fairly surprised to have gotten the shots I did.

I can't even define what it is about this one-off which so tantalizes me,
but I think it's a stunner.

Love that backdrop what city was it shot in?

Southport, NC. A couple of vehicles being used in the filming of a TV movie several years ago. Canon AE-1, Seattle Filmworks 400.

Here’s another one from a local car meet and cruise. Multiple long exposures and light painted.
