when cars could fly

When I was a kid, all the cars on the road looked like they could fly into orbit. I love cars with fins. Maybe it's because I lived in a day before automobiles became more fuel efficient and aerodynamic. I think it should be mandatory that all automobiles be designed with rocket fins. The 1966 Batmobile (originally a 1955 Ford Futura Concept Car) took the look even further...a rocket engine shooting fire right out the back! Wow!

Cars these days are designed to pretty much look alike. Once the redesign of the Ford Thunderbird came out in the mid-eighties, all cars have pretty much taken on a generic smoothed over sameness. Not many cars on the road today have a unique look about them. There are exceptions- but not many. There are definitely not enough road rockets out there...cars with fins that is. Here we are, living in the future, living in the modern day with cell phones, computers, flying machines and yet our cars don't look futuristic in the least. We need fins people!
