Wired has a neat gallery of cars of futures past that never made it into production. This one above is the 1956 Buick Centurion, a concept car by General Motors that came complete with a bubble-shaped cockpit and body made of lightweight fiberglass.

    Woah! 1600 hp for the 1953 Swandean Spitfire Special? I'm your face is getting bruised by the acceleration ;)

    The thing I love most about retro futuristic cars like this is that they hark back to a time when people looked forward to the future instead of fearing it.

    Plus they look amazingly cool.
