"Concept cars". Michigan auto manufacturers are always working on the next big thing. These concept cars are what the engineers and designers think are the future of trucks or automobiles. A lot of the time, these cars never make it to the production line - but some of the cool features on them do - in other vehicles. And these display cars usually carry some "wow" factor.

Every year the manufacturers roll their concept cars over to the Detroit Auto Show (I'm sorry - the "North American International Auto Show") to show off what they've been working on. Some get a few changes and go on to be huge sellers (an example in a moment) Some are so futuristic, they go on to be in movies or TV shows. And some are just forgotten. What happens to those? I suspect a lot of them are still in Michigan. Certainly some are in museums, but some may be in private garages.
