Following the Washington Auto Show, I thought it would be fun to take a look into the past at what people thought the automobile (and in this case kitchen) might look like in the future. So here is a musical short movie filmed at the 1956 General Motors Motorama in NYC.

“Come to the place where tomorrow meets today.” (If you wait til the end there are some seriously gorgeous wheels including the Turbine Powered Firebird 2 cruising the “electronic highway.”) Enjoy!

More info on this and other concept cars from the 50’s here. Where are these cars? Are they still around and what has happened to innovation? Sigh!
