This futuristic Ford, the FX-Atmos, caused a stir at the 1954 Chicago Auto Show. According to the vice-president of Ford, its purpose was to “represent one of the many avenues which styling could take into the future”.
The GMC L’Universelle concept truck was unveiled in 1955 to show forward thinking in the area of delivery vehicles. The futuristic styling of L’Universelle influenced design in the ’60s.
One of the most amazing automobile prototypes of the 1930’s was the 1938 Phantom Corsair. This very unusual six-passenger coupe was jointly designed by Rust Heinz. Heinz planned to put the Phantom Corsair (which cost approximately $24,000 to produce in 1938 – approximately $300,000 in 2005 dollars) into limited production at an estimated selling price of $12,500. His death, however, shortly after the car was completed, ended those plans.
