If you want to come down with a serious case of car envy, check out this photo gallery of the
Top 10 Concept Cars of the Fifties. Okay, it was posted over a year ago, so I'm probably the eighty grazillionth person to link to it, but there's nothing quite so timeless as yesterday's tomorrows. Or something.

Seriously, though, wouldn't it be cool to have a Lincoln Futura or a GM Firebird II, just so people could stare at you as you went stylin' down the highway? In fact, the Lincoln Futura was so stylin' that the producers of the 1960's
Batman TV series used one as the basis for their
Batmobile.

I think maybe the most attractive, in a quieter way, is the Chrysler K-310. The Dodge Firearrows, meanwhile, remind me of electric razors.

But by far the most alarming is the Ford Nucleon, which fortunately never got any farther than a scale design model. Yes, motor to work or play in the car with a
freakin' nuclear reactor in the back. Most people can't keep their oil maintained. What hope this? They could call breakdowns "The Detroit Syndrome."
