That was a goofy thing -- the top recessed into what was essentially a tub in the trunk area. That was to keep the owner from placing anything where it might jam the mechanism. What you were left with was a few inches outside the tub which MIGHT hold a box of tissue or two.<br /><br />Don't recall having seen this concept study before. Probably saw the X-100, but managed to block it from memory. It ain't no Nucleon!<br /><br />The Golden Rocket was new to new as of a few days ago -- it's suddenly popped up on a bunch of tumbers. Is it just me, or does that slab side look a whole lot like the '61 T-Bird? Olds certainly guessed wrong on the popularity of small wheels, though.<br /><br />All-in-all, what a butt-ugly collection of concepts.

I cannot deny that the multiple side exhausts are neat looking, if a little childish. They look like they're inspired by the exhausts on a P-40 Tiger Shark from WWII, whcih is probably not an accident.<br /><br />Thanks for reading, Fil!<br /><br />[-Mgmt.]PhilAreGo@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719815455502184849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4438559177675541367.post-26186580668802749012012-02-15T23:08:17.564-06:002012-02-15T23:08:17.564-06:00The Ford Syrtis, with the roof-o-matic, does have ...The Ford Syrtis, with the roof-o-matic, does have the mother of all exhaust, it appears. The car does not look big enough to have a motor to match the exhaust.<br />Do you figure that was a drivable car, or a mock-up? The driver seems a bit stiff.<br />How about the Ford X-100? Its parked on the street, so I would guess it was drivable. I never saw one of those before. Boy, you would be the chit driving that around today.Filhttp://www.nonphilter.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
