I was going thru some old Hot Rod mags and saw this add. I don't ever remember these on the market.

I know there are a lot of ideas that never made it or did but they flopped. Post them here if you can think of any.

First pic. Is that a Polara?
 

Want to hear something funny? When I was a kid, I didn't think I'd ever get to drive a car when I was older. I thought that by then we'd be driving these around instead and cars would be obsolete. Things were moving so fast then with the Gemini and Apollo missions, and then we landed on the moon. What else would a dumb kid think? LOL
 
I still kinda want one of these.

I still remember the GM commercial... you can go 100K miles without a tuneup ( they never told you you'd never get the plugs out or have any threads left) Or the famous you can run 50 miles without any water (coolant)
 
They were probably better off in the air, you wouldn't have to worry about getting rear ended and blowing up!
