History While I was waiting for these to hit the showroom,... For the last 50 some years !

When I was a kid back in School, They would show us films of how life would be when we were adults,.... We would live in sky scrapers and fly around in our own personal flying saucers (not unlike the Jetson's)...

But in the meantime, We would certainly be driving these in the late 50' and early 60's.... Did I miss these ?.... I was so looking forward to seeing them in the show rooms !.....

"Reality,... For those that cant handle being a Designer"
(However,... Some of these are sooooo cooool !)

 

And a few more,....

 

They have a few concept cars in the vault @ the Petersen museum. That orange Chrysler was there as well as this '53 Ghia built Cadillac plus a few others I didn't get pics of. I love cars like this, great thread idea...

 

Great stuff, Harm.
WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR!?!?!

 

You and me both,,where is my fly car?

Thankfully,not ever prototype autos from our youth were destroyed as the automakers were know to have done.

It is evident when watching the big name auctions on television when every once in a while one of these amazing cars is reintroduced to the unaware public,but just as quick as it is seeing the light of day a guy bids that has unreachable depth to the bottom of his pockets and it is whisk away and never to be in the public eye again.

Thanks for posting these amazing creations. HRP

 

Apparently stashed away with mine,.... If we ever find them, we'll take them for a "spin" .... What do ya' say "belair" when we find them,.. I'll race ya' to the moon and back !.... Looser pays for the "Tang" and "Space food sticks" !!

 

This was built in the UK a few years ago.

Y
You're on, Harm. All we need is a pretty flag girl for world's longest drag race!

 

I'll race ya but I don't think my early bi plane style flying car will go that far. HRP

 

No problemo HRP,... I'll hook up to you with a tow strap !

 

1st set of pic's, 2nd row, far right. I think that is what the Batmobile from the 60's was based on. looks just like it, at least.

 

The very same car, just modified by Barris

 

1955 Lincoln Prototype Futura.

I always heard Barris bought the car from Ford for $1.00 Dollar. HRP
