Conceptual design

While a concept car or motorcycle is suppose to be a stretch of the imagination, a what could be or a what if, most concept vehicles are down right ugly or beautifully impractical. Once in a while though a vehicle is designed that even over 60 years later you say..."I would love to cruise around with that."

Take the 1937 BMW R7 concept.



This vintage BMW was locked away in a crate for almost 70 years, that crate was opened in June of 2005.  This 1937 BMW R7 was only a concept motorcycle at the time, a vehicle built for speed but never intended for mass production.  Since the crate was opened, this R7 has been faithfully restored to its original condition and is currently touring European bike shows.  If this unique BMW R7 were ever to hit the auction block, you can almost bet that it’ll set records. 

Of course there were concept vehicles that were a little over the edge, some a tad strange looking, but tell the truth, the 1957 Buick LaSabre Concept car...would you throw her out of your garage?


The more you look at her lines, the more you say...Wow.
