The Buick Y-Job is one of the first concepts cars ever made. It had power-operated hidden headlamps, electric windows (not common for a car back then), flush door handles, and wraparound bumpers. The car itself was driven by Harley Earl (the designer of the car) until he replaced it with a 1951 model year car and later got restored at the Henry Ford Museum until 1993 when it got returned to the GM design center.

Specs:

Wheelbase - 126 in (3,200 mm)
Length - 208.7 in (5,301 mm)
Engine - 5.2-liter (320 ci) Buick straight-8
