6. Buick’s Y-job – 1938

Buick came out with the world’s first concept car in 1938: the Y-job. General Motors wanted to engage the public’s curiosity by showcasing new designs and technology, such as power electric windows, pop-up headlights, flush door handles, wraparound bumpers, and styling characteristics that Buick continued to use until the mid-1950’s. It also introduced a vertical waterfall grille design, which Buick still uses today.
