Nginx Configuration for Dynamic URL Segments as Arguments for Parent Segment Index

I am trying to set a location in the configuration that allows me to do something like https://example.com/car/<vin> which would not go to a <vin> application or directory but to /car/index.html. From there, I would read the URL or pass <vin> to /car/index.html.

I have tried various regex location blocks, like the one below, but they all result in a 404 when accessing /car/<vin>.

location ~ ^/car/(.*)$ {
    root $document_root/car/
    index index.html;
}

What would be an appropriate location block?

Do you want to use a regular expression? The prefix location would also work as it matches any URI that begins with /car/. See this document for details.

For example:

location ^~ /car/ {
    try_files /car/index.html =404;
}

Using $document_root in the root statement may not work, and the index directive only works with URIs that end with a /. The try_files statement is probably the simplest solution. See this document for details.
