I am a sucker for 1950s kitschy futurism. Especially the futuristic way of life that Disney promoted with Tomorrowland, Epcot, and the like. Here’s an excerpt from a 1958 Disney show titled “Magic Highway U.S.A.”
It’s interesting to note the things that actually came to pass: rearview cameras, GPS systems, and unchecked suburban sprawl.
I for one think we could use some of those sun-powered-electro-suspension cars and the flying ambulance/fire truck/wrecker.

I agree, there is just nothing like the futuristic minimalist absurdity of Disney. And I especially enjoyed the machine that just melted its way through mountains while paving a road. That’s hot.
