She'll crash when dui from a 1.5 litre bottle of Riesling and inadvertently cause a nuclear explosion@Barbaria1 += View attachment 1309638
Very much reminds me of the 'Duck and Cover' drills we did in grade school in the 50's
Here in the UK, we were told that in the event of a nuclear attack, we should hide under the stairs or under a table and paint the windows white...And behind the Iron Curtain they tried to persuade us that the glorious Soviet army would protect us in an emergency.
Another beautiful concept car, the Chrysler Turbine 1963-64. Body by Ghia.I love the look of those old classic American cars with all the chrome tailfins and sleek lights. Nowadays every car looks almost identical and boring, with no character at all
I lament the awful lack of imagination of today's designers. Back in the 50s and 60s, there were so many fabulous design ideas floating around which were exciting and inspiring, unlike today's lookalike parade.
Here's a few nice looking designs from the past, starting with the Lincoln Futura, which became famous for being the basis of the original 1960s Batmobile

Even better looking than this was the Ford Atmos concept car...

Not everything that Ford came up with was perfectly thought out though - the Ford Nucleon concept from the late 50s looked really cool, but that weird round thing in the back is a nuclear reactor. Yeah, Ford thought that everybody would be driving around in their own personal Chernobyl - what could possibly go wrong?

The Plymouth Voyager was a strange one, effectively being two cars in one, with retractable wheels behind that off panel in the middle. It would make an awesome camper though - I could easily fit a kingsize bed in the back of this thing

And finally, my own favorite - the Ferrari Modulo, in my opinion the most beautiful car ever designed. Only one was ever built, for the 1970 motor show, and is now owned by a private collector

Of ourse these were all concept cars and never made it into production, which I think is a real shame - with the possible exception of the Nucleon of course - nobody wants to see Barb driving around in one of those things
I live in the center of the auto world and like you I find very little to like in modern design. The copycat designing is so bad that if you took the badging off it would be almost impossible to tell them apart.I love the look of those old classic American cars with all the chrome tailfins and sleek lights.

More computer design and accounting influence than human input perhaps?The melted jellybean look, I call it.
interesting hairdo...

Yeah I guess Tania is,in her own little way. LolThe lady in picture #5 appears to have identified one of the aircraft as a Type 1
She was right, was Tania, an ST-1!Stout ST-1; Torpedo bomber; built by Stout Metal Airplaine in 1922; US Navy.
Bristol Braemar; longe range bomber; carrying 6-250 lb bombs; 1918; RAF.
Focke Wulf F19 (Ente); German experimental "canard" aircraft; built by Rumpler Werke in 1927.
The inter war years era aircraft is a sight to behold. One leg in the era of biplanes and the other leg in the futureShe was right, was Tania, an ST-1!
She's not just a pretty, um, face!
Luckily I am able to obtain the young lady's data :Stout ST-1; Torpedo bomber; built by Stout Metal Airplaine in 1922; US Navy.
Bristol Braemar; longe range bomber; carrying 6-250 lb bombs; 1918; RAF.
Focke Wulf F19 (Ente); German experimental "canard" aircraft; built by Rumpler Werke in 1927.
Unfortunately, I was unable to obtain the young ladies' technical data.
