10 Incredible Vintage Concept Cars

June 30, 2019

4. Plymouth XNR

Developed by Plymouth in 1960, the XNR is a look at what might have been. Designed to out-Corvette the Corvette, the massive tailfin is ridiculously cool, but also functional, serving as a rollover bar. Named for Virgil Exner, who had taken the step of streamlining Plymouth’s cars, diversifying from their previously boxy shapes. Based on a Plymouth Valiant, the modifications were extensive, turning the XNR into a fully-fledged sports car, with handiwork courtesy of Carrozzeria Ghia.

Under the hood, you’d find a straight-six engine that output over 200 horsepower. However, the concept was ultimately doomed, and the car was shipped back to Italy. It eventually made its way to Lebanon where it survived the tumultuous civil war unharmed, before being restored in Canada. It was sold at auction in 2012 for $935,000. Not a bad price for one of the most gorgeous concepts ever created.
