From Wikipedia: In 1957, as a Ford employee, Tremulis was assigned the task of designing the car that "he believed we would be driving in the year 2000". Tremulis drew up plans and made a clay model of the Ford X-2000, a concept that would later be brought to life in the form of a working prototype in 1999 by UK customiser Andy Saunders, who showed it at car shows in 1999 and 2000.

'Cause it was built in 1999...it was just DESIGNED in the '50s. Would have been a nice touch if he'd added period correct rubber though.
I didn't know anything about the car until reading what ynobil just pasted into his post. I did guess from the name though that the designer probably thought we'd be driving something similar in the year 2000. I'll bet that he also thought that those pods at the rear would be for rocket propulsion...and that it probably wouldn't need wheels since everyone would be flying around by then.

Wow, that Ford looks like something designed by Barris, or perhaps Homer Simpson?

I'd even love another hug from her.

Met her in Henderson, NC in '13. She signed my friend's shirt. Sad she wasn't around this year.
