Ever wonder what those in the past thought the future might look like? Well, the Petersen Automotive Museum has several exhibits that help answer that question.
For example, “Modern Concepts: Future Visions from the Recent Past,” features the 1995 Ford GT90. The concept had a unique V12, with a transmission and chassis from a Jaguar XJ220.
The exhibit also has the 1999 Ford 021C, 2002 XENO III, 2002 Cadillac Cien, 2004 Chrysler ME Four-Twelve and 2008 Honda FC Sport.

“In the museum’s 30-year history, we have never opened this many exhibits at once, and this collection showcases the depth and breadth of the automotive landscape,” said Petersen Automotive Museum Executive Director Terry L. Karges in a press release. “We are constantly pushing the limits and finding new ways to bring automotive ingenuity from the past and future to our guests.”
