The Astra-Gnome is a concept car by industrial designer Richard Arbib using a 1955 Nash Metropolitan chassis. It was described as a "Time and Space Car". It features themes influenced by the space travel forms that were popular during the 1950s. The vehicle represented Arbib's vision of what an automobile would look like in the year 2000.
Snazzy interior shot:
Interior looks dope, exterior is horseshit sorry. I'd dig it for a submarine though.
We need this car! 😁
It looks amazing, and so does the diversity in ways this thing is life threatening dangerous.
Interesting that all the sketches/ photos feature women drivers. Apparently it's part of a traveling display of cars, but I've no idea where it is now.
No, hers was the Beta Romeo. The other salesman was trying to sell Fry the Thundercougarfalconbird.
It didn't have nearly as much eagle, though.
As a flying car? Cool! As a ground vehicle? Actually the worst possible combinations of ideas.
