When cars (almost) used to fly!

I couldn't resist to buy these strange model cars. Too bad they were only show cars.

Picture #5 reminds me of B52 engines.

I love concept cars. They made some really wild mock-ups in the Fifties and Sixties, some of them actually drove. Never saw those models, but they look cool, really aircraft and spaceship oriented designs (gotta love the Fifties for that!). Very nice, Rudi.
