The XP-20 design was a Harley Earl project, but there is no mention of when it was designed, just when it was built, and badged the F-88

Yep U got it, that's why I said it should be easy.. Personally I think it's not a good looking car. But part of auto history.. Another Harley Earl project.

So who's next ?

Blue- That's it.. I know bubble cars get hot, but I would like hitting our Cruise in show in this one.. PS: I can't confirm this, but I think it may be the little old lady from Pasadena.

John- Agreed, those antennas are pretty wild.

(Copy-n-paste) Dream cars from the early 1950s borrowed heavily from jet aircraft styling, like the futuristic Ford FX-Atmos. Appearing at the 1954 Chicago Auto Show, the FX-Atmos featured a glass dome roof, tail fins, rocket exhaust taillights and needle-like radio antennae protruding from front fender pods. The radical cackpit had a center-mounted driver’s seat and 2-passenger rear seats. Dual handgrips replaced the normal steering wheel and the dash-mounted “Roadarscope” radar screen provided highway information.
