Yanko Design Goes Retro Future
After World War II General Motors let their designers pretty much go hog wild with automotive concepts. They featured these futuristic designs in a series of eight auto shows called GM Motorama, punctuating the new feeling of prosperity and optimism sweeping through the USA at that time. The result was an absolutely mind blowing collection of some of the greatest and strangest concept vehicle designs ever created. Enjoy this peek into your grandparents future that never was. Notable favorites are the 1959 Cadillac Cyclone, 1953 GM Futureliner and 1951 Lesabre. Which are you feeling?

the bus is for real. They used to be used to hold up a massive tent, i think there was like 10 or 12 of them and they circled around and held up a tent. There was one that sold for like 10 million a couple years ago at Barrett- Jackson.
