Bubble top cars date back to the early fifties, at we’re inspired by the bubble covers of jet fighters ,

You got the jets part right, interesting in the link the 1955 Lincoln Futura was in a movie prior to being modified into the TV Batmobile, the most famous bubble top car. GM had the bubble top products in the early 60’s as Daryl Starbird built custom cars like Predicta and Big Daddy Ed Roth did , must have been sweltering in the Mystrion or the Beatnik Bandit
