Good thing some of those Edsel concepts never made it to production too!

 

I like her shoes.

 

What kind of car is this?

 

… ah let me guess, an alpha romeo ?

 

It is Alfa not Alpha. The car is an Alfa Romeo Montreal . Production was 1970 to 1977. Power came from a 2.6 litre fuel injected V8 with a 7,000 rpm red line. Just less than 4,000 were built.

The origins of Alfa Romeo. The original company was A.L.F.A for Anonima Lombarda Fabricca Automobili which very roughly translates to the Lombardy Automobile Factory. During WWI Nicola Romeo took control of the factory, initially to produce military equipment, and from 1920 the name became Alfa Romeo, and the rest is history.

 

Alpha Beta??

 

I don't remember the name, but it was famous for having chick magnets embedded in the paint.

Which on first review was a good idea, except that it messed up the aerodynamics, and got expensive to operate, since at every fuel stop, you had to buy gas AND caviar.

 

Fantastic info! Need to get this book.

 

THANK YOU...LOVE TO SEE THE CONCEPT CLAYS......

what's so amazing is they were proposing all this to be made in metal....no blow molded nose cap like today's heaps.......and no computers either......done by human hand!!!
