In 1959, General Motors (GM) unveiled the Firebird III, the third iteration in its series of concept cars, at theGM Motorama event. Boasting a futuristic and aerodynamic design, the Firebird III featured seven short wings and tail fins, along with a distinctive double-bubble canopy.

    Could the driver and passenger actually talk?

      That’s a feature for married couples. Also: fart proof.

      Did they make a family version with a rear children bubble?

      No, it’s meant to work like the cones of silence on Get Smart.

Raygun Gothic refers to any creative work from 1900 through about 1959, predicting the future before it became possible. Think rockets and rayguns, flying cars and futuristic cities - especially if the vision never quite panned out in reality. We find this aesthetic in product design, book covers, films, radio & TV. “A tomorrow that never was”. The same style as in the Fallout games, The Jetsons and so on but focused on the time period through the 50s.

Post and discuss anything with these aesthetics.
