What would ET drive?

I recently attended Amelia Island Concours in Florida.

The vehicle below is a custom car built in 1938 by Bohman & Schwartz Custom Coach Builders. It was commissioned for Rust Heinz, heir to Heinz 57 fortune. It was a prototype to be mass produced but Heinz died before it became a reality.

This is obviously a studio shot. The car was there and I have original pix, crowded by spectators. This car has been described as "Art Deco UFO" It also appeared in a movie and was affectionately called "Flying Wombat." I can provide further info if requested.

Notice the "UFO" styling cues. Circa 1938..........Amazing.



I'm obsessed with cars and UFO's. What a great forum.

So anyone have any cars suggesting "other world" styling to share or comments?

Here's whats sitting in my driveway as of last week.




However.... it's the wife's, not mine...

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! That is too gnarly to simply be a "grocery getter." Hope you get at least get to "Break it in" and take it for it's "Weekly Service." Wink, wink.

I got my spousal unit a ride way too fast for her needs. She complained,
" There's something wrong with my new car, If I lightly mash the gas pedal, it throws me back in the seat." Audi Turbo.

Gosh I adore her so..................

Thanks for sharing.

That thing is real cute. But where would ET put his golf clubs or abductees?

With a top speed of 38, it might take awhile to explore the universe.

0 to 60 in..............never.

Here is another one I came across....pretty sweet acually.
Definately what I would drive if I was an alien!
