few prototypes and concept cars are coming up in emails that I haven't seen before, but Randy found one with some previously that I had never seen

coincidentally this 1948 Cadillac Series 62 by Soutchik was just the car in a 2012 calendar that a coworker has... and I was going to look it up. Now I don't need to!

this car was in the Imperial Casino car collection/ museum http://vizlepcso.blogspot.hu/2008/07/auto-collections-tizenhatodik-rsz.html

 1953 Cadillac by Ghia... the Rita Hayworth car
it has an interesting history http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/03/1953-cadillac-series-62-rebodied-by.html and the color in daylight is closer to purple.

1955 Lincoln Indianapolis

1956 Oldsmobile Golden Rocket had an interesting design for a steering wheel. the spokes are at one side. Looks like maybe the speedometer was in the center of the steering wheel too... imagine how far that steering wheel would roll up toward the roof

1957 Chrysler Diablo by Ghia

the Ferrari (is Ferrari the plural of Ferrari? or is it Ferraris)

Simple, elegant, beautiful in it's simplicity. As one famous designer once said, and is frequently quoted "Simplify, simplify, simplify"

It's the thorough work of Pal, who is also the author of the admirable and complete list of auto museums on planet Earth.

The topic is a bit more advanced and less photogenic than what I post, but I would be terrible not to advise you of it, for those interested in custom built auto bodies of the golden era
