Why do concepts always look better than the productions
First reason is mainly cost :(
But then they need to maximise sales and so use "focus groups" to identify what is "acceptable" to the majority of respondants and so exotic design is transformed in to suburban mediocrity :(

Just makes the survivors that much more valuable. :D
Over the years I've been collecting pictures of the more interesting classic concepts. Someday, I guess as times permits, I think it'll be fun to create replicas of the originals

Thanks for the welcome Henk4. I shall do so when I get an opportunity.:)
Sorry if I missed it having been mentioned... but I know one, Ford Seattle-ite. One of the best concepts ever, I think.
Those are superb. They should have made those real even just for display purposes.
