April 28, 200916 yr That BMW is a prototype 507 probably made around 1956 with a series number of 70.001.
April 28, 200916 yr The blue sedan is a Studebaker Lark, maybe from around 1962 or so. The big car at the bottom looks like a 30s Bugatti Royale. The firetruck is something old, maybe a Faegol from the '50s. No idea what the first two concepts are, the first looks like something from the '90s and the 2nd from the '70s...vaguely reminds me of a Matchbox Lamborghini Marzal from the early '70s.

April 28, 200916 yr Yes it is a Lambo and the first one somehow makes me think it was a Pinninfarina concept.
April 28, 200916 yr That Lark could be a bit later than '62, I'm guessing that the puke green thing is a '74ish Lotus, and the concept looks like something from an Italian design house circa '85 ish... Maybe a Citroen badged styling exercise?

Maybe a Citroen badged styling exercise? The gray concept looks more '90s than '80s, look at the wheel size. Kind of reminds me of some Ford Ghia concepts. The green car is probably a '70s Bertone concept for Lamborghini. Not sure which one.
April 28, 200916 yr This first photo has to be from the late 90's to current time frame, they remind me of some wheels I have seen on Buick concepts. The girl is Cute, will take here too with the car.

April 29, 200916 yr Author As usual, the mint green cab-forward car with the mid-engined/3-passenger layoutis the one that stump almost everyone. I love this car because it was one of the first cars I fell in love with as a kid. Years before I ever knew what a Chevy, Cadillac or GM were. My dad had a "WhizzWheels" 1:64 toy replica of this fascinating concept. I still have it to this day, with an awesome patina & half it's paint worn off. Turns out it was powered by Chevrolet 327, and it's styling was ahead of it's time enough where you guys all assumed it was a lot newer then it really is. Another awesome feature of this car is the way it foreshadowed the 1993 McLaren F1 exotic road car. WMJ: You're right about the Alfa Romeo Bat Eleven. BUT No Dodge Brother's product appears in here.
April 29, 200916 yr #2 : I know this design- have pics of it in my files, it's late '60s IIRC. One-off concept. I want to say it's a Bertone Lambo... #3 : '63 Lark. #4 : '53 Fargo #6 : '30 Bugatti Royale

May 2, 200916 yr Author If Matchbox made one I missed it and have never seen it. That would shock me... esp. since I've got hundreds of Matchbox cars. not as many as my Hot Wheels but still a LOT!
