1961 Ford Gyron
Is this car just balanced on two wheels? Is it called a “Gyron” because it is gyro-stabilized? YES!!
from Wiki-you-know-who: ”The Ford Gyron was a futuristic two-wheeled gyrocar first shown to the world in 1961 at the Detroit Motor Show as a concept car designed by Syd Mead. One wheel was at the front and the other at the rear like a motorcycle and the car was stabilized by gyroscopes. The two occupants of the vehicle were seated side by side and, when the vehicle was stationary, two small legs appeared from the sides to support it. The vehicle was created for research and marketing purposes, with no intention to put it into production.
Syd Mead + crazy idea = reblog (despite my usual dislike of cars)
Yes, Mr Musk will be by soon in his zeppelin to collect them thanks. Just write the number you feel is correct on the cheques as they flutter down.
