    Too many factual errors in this video! Just to name a few...The Lincoln Futura was designated as a 1955 model year, not 1954. The Ford Seattle-ite XXI was featured at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, not New York. The Roman numeral XXI in the name designated the "21st Century" which was the main theme of the fair. The 1959 Cadillac Cyclone was completely missed. It had a radar-operated collision avoidance system for goodness sake! Thumbs down for me...sorry.

    The 6 wheel ford was first shown at the 1962 World Fair in Seattle not New York. This car was only ever a 2-3 table model and never as a full size car. The red Lincoln Futura looks like a fiberglass recreation since the real car had chrome bumpers as well as the band of trim down the side. It was only red in the movie It stared with a kiss. It as originally a light metallic turquoise color. The Firebird ll had a titanium body, probably the first titanium car body. Better research and a computer voice would help this video.

      Can you imagine a whole classroom of students watching this video for automotive history exam research and learning that Henry Earl was a top designer for GM. So now all these students will go forth in life spreading the knowledge to others that Henry Earl was a historical automotive designer. Here's my advice if you're making a documentary to educate the general public accuracy is of the utmost importance. This film and other films like it should not have been released unedited for exact historical accuracy before it was posted here. This example here is just as bad as saying that Jeffrey Washington was the first president of the United States.😮

    Just push a button and the car practically drives itself. Yeah, right... oh wait, Tesla. I guess this is the future.

    The '53 corvette does not belong on this list - not only not futuristic, but has a primitive heavy stovebolt strait 6 & 2 speed powerglide trans. Left off & #1 should be firebird III !
    #2 should be firebird IV - for styling alone, tho it had no drivetrain.

      Right the Firebird IV was a non-running mockup. With a slightly different paint job, it toured the auto show circuit a second time as the Buick Century Cruiser.

    Esfuerzos por diseñar el más bello auto. Creo que solamente interesaba la espectacularidad del diseño y no la economía, comodidad, versatilidad, velocidad. Fue parte de la evolución automotriz.
