Motopia: The City of The 60s’ Tomorrow. Cars drive on elevator streets, while pedestrians zip around on moving sidewalks.

"Planned for construction about 17 miles west of London with an estimated cost of about $170 million, Motopia was a bold—if somewhat impractical plan—for a city built from the ground up. The town was envisioned as being able to have a population of 30,000, all living in a grid-pattern of buildings with an expanse of rooftop motorways in the sky."

What happened? Instead of building up, we built out and created sprawling suburbs and exurbs of single family homes.

TRIPLE-TAILED CRAFT began as a ’51 Studebaker sedan, was drastically rebuilt in 4,000 man-hours of labor. It has a V-8 engine and a curb weight of 1,000 pounds. The body is made of 14 glass-fiber subassemblies. Gas-tank opening is under center tail light.

Retro futuristic designs were so much more interesting than the cars the future actually brought.
