Also, how about the Lincoln Futura?
It kinda looks like something that Batman would drive.
Easy, the Yamaha OX99-11. This was the first program I ever worked on straight out of college. I.A.D. My first employer designed and built the first cars. I recall at least two fully running and finished, one mule and at least one other dummy. The first car built had a very mildly detuned F1 engine. The production intent version would've had a further detuned, but still heavily based on the actual F1 engine. Internal code name was Madonna which was so much better than the stupid alphabet soup OX 99–11.

Heh, Batman did drive it, sorta.
Auburn Cabin Speedster.
Not really a concept, just a one-off with a body by Griswold.
I've had my hands on that car once.
The original body was destroyed in a fire, this is a correct reproduction.
I love love love the GT90 and the Indigo. Trying to think of some others that were up there.
The Forty Nine was interesting, whether you think it holds up compared to its namesake is up to you.
The Ford Probe V was futuristic and strange and downright beautiful from some angles, I would say.
Here's a recent one I hadn't seen until just now: the Ford P1, developed as a virtual car in conjunction with gamers, but they also built a life-size model. Reminds me of the Gran Turismo concept cars somewhat.
And, okay, something a little closer to production. Something I didn't think was possible. A way to make the Ford Ecosport actually sort of compelling. The Ecosport Storm concept. (The tires are what sells it.)
The 1955 GMC L’Universelle. It used a Pontiac V8 engine and a Hydramatic transmission, flipped around backwards to drive the front wheels. (note: the original question was what is your favorite, not which one is the prettiest...some people may find this thing weird looking, but that's not the point.)
Second choice is the 1954 Chevrolet Nomad.
In reply to ShawnG :
I don't know how I forgot about Delorean's Corvette Killer. Absolutely love it!
There is a Lemons "tribute" which is a 318TI powered by a Pontiac OHC and a T5 with a mishmash of body panels.

Better looking than the original as well.

I did, and it was. I still think that they could have built it and done well for the image.
What the new Charger should have been, and running on CNG to boot. I would change the 90s grille to something sleeker, though.
