The 1958 Nucleon is a nuclear-powered car Ford designers envisaged traveling around 5,000 miles without recharging. The “atomic-powered” Ford was designed around the assumption that the size and weight of nuclear reactors and shielding would be reduced in the future. We’re thankful this idea didn’t take off, but it’s interesting.
If the Ford Aurora concept had seen reality, station wagons may still have been popular family cars today. This futuristic longroof took cabin design to a new level with a lounge-style L-shaped lounge, front swivel chairs, and a TV, to name a few of the home-like features.
Other jaw-dropping cars include the 1954 FX Atmos, 1976 Antser, Europe 021C, 1992 Bronco Boss, and the all-electric Ford Comuta. If you’ve got a few hours to spare and a fondness for concept cars, it’s well worth ogling these incredible creations. While Ford still creates concept cars, they’ve got nothing on the things you’ll see in the Heritage Vault.
