"The future was a chrome-trimmed triangular window in the front of dad's car, and it had its own knob to open it up. The future was a hamburger under a light fixture that looked like an atom. The future was going to be *awesome*!" - James Lileks, The Bleat Whatever happened to that fantastic future they used to dream of?

There are quite a number of reasons WHY they didn't mass produce some of those cars...but they still look good...and all of those are still around!

Description is wrong; it's not a trip back in time, it's a trip into the future.
Her apron is showing! Quick get her to the kitchen! LOL, how times have changed.
