User darewnoo has been following the old Daewoo concept cars from 10 years. Their last prototype (before GM Daewoo and Chevrolet) comes from 2001... Do you think that almost 20 years later, none of them survived? You're wrong!
Many people asked about the prototypes - which still exist?

So: almost 1/4 of old Daewoo concepts cars still exist or existed more than 10 years!
Unfortunately, the models on the red box (1995-2000) probably don't exist - they may be scrapped or destroyed, but this is not certain! They may still exist and be hidden, eg. in the garage or abandoned somewhere.
If you have more actual photo / information about one of this concepts, tell me about it!
