These are existing vehicle profiles grouped by their recorded classification. Read each profile for its own source notes, image context and production scope. A shared collection does not establish that different editions or chassis are the same identity.
THE COLLECTION
177 profiles
Lincoln 2002
The 2002 Continental Concept applies a formal executive-car brief to a new interpretation of the Continental name. Its physical body and center-opening doors form the archive’s core identity.
Ford 2003
Ford’s 2003 Model U Concept proposed a vehicle that could change its passenger and cargo arrangement while exploring alternative materials and power.
Honda 2003
The Honda HSC presented a new sports-car proposal at the 2003 Tokyo Motor Show.
Lexus 2003
The Lexus HPX, later identified as LF-X, explores the space between a sporting car and a luxury utility vehicle. Its archive entry brings the two names together, preserving one historical programme and…
Lincoln 2003
The Navicross combines sedan-like form with an all-conditions design brief. Its full-size physical display deserves its own archive record, separate from a production Navigator or a conventional Continental.
Fiat 2004
The Fiat Trepiùno Concept explored how a very small car could combine familiar visual cues with an adaptable passenger compartment.
Ford 2004
The 2004 Ford Shelby Cobra Concept revisited the open two-seat Cobra idea with a new chassis and a large naturally aspirated V10.
Hyundai 2004
The 2004 Hyundai HCD-8 Concept presents a compact sports-coupe form through a California design study. The yellow physical show car is the archive subject here, with its own identity and imagery retained…
Kia 2004
The 2004 Kia Sport Concept gives a small hatchback a deliberately assertive physical form. Its original Paris programme deserves a distinct archive identity, separate from both the Sportage SUV and later retail…
Lexus 2004
The Lexus LF-C makes roof configuration part of the design experience. Its 2004 concept brief combines a sports-coupé identity with four different roof positions, giving the archive a more specific story than…
Lincoln 2004
The Mark X explores an open two-seat Lincoln with a retractable glass-roof arrangement. Its cabin photograph documents a specific piece of that physical design, not a generic MKX crossover interior.
Ford 2005
Ford’s Shelby GR-1 Concept developed the enclosed fastback side of the Shelby performance story.
THE RARITY RIDES STANDARD
A limited offer is not automatically a completed-production total. A surviving vehicle is not a complete factory census. We keep those distinctions visible and link each collection back to the individual profile’s evidence.
