50’s & 60’s concept cars

A post war trauma, influences from aerodynamics and aircraft industry all combined with a little bit of space travel dreams of that time resulted in this futuristic and sometimes even in a bit weird shapes. I think it’s absolutely fascinating!

The Bocar was produced between 1957-1961 by BoCarnes. There are just couple of survivors.  Today the car would qualify as near-super car ranking as based on performance according to wikipedia.

“Rizk Auto RA”  might look like one from the 50’s but it’s from 2009.  The body is made of some space materials. So it makes it suitable for this post :)
