Wow, I'm hardly ever this early to the party. Great video!!
This one is all over the place! I like the gull-wing doors, but the design has too many facets which don't really blend well. Another very interesting find! Thanx!
🙋♂️THANKS RETRO…FOR SHOWCASING THIS ONE ☝️ OF A KIND BEAUTIFUL 🤩💚💚💚
It looks like a prop for a 50’s sci-fi B-movie… very strange.
1949 Ford. Not very futuristic……..
A very ugly car!

Yet another show car I never heard of until I found this channel. To me, it had potential that was never realized due to never being completed. But in many ways, it looked like Joseph Galileo (any relation to Italian Renaissance Polymath Galileo di Vincenzo Bonaiuti de' Galilei?) was trying too hard to cram as many 'futuristic' styling features into one car. A quick Google search found no model kits or diecasts of this unique, one-off, but enterprising scratch builders and kitbashers could start with the AMT 1949 Ford Coupe . . . .
Thanks for sharing!
