The Petersen Automotive Museum’s new exhibit “GM’s Marvelous Motorama: Dream Cars From the Joe Bortz Collection,” shows off concept cars from the 1950s. While many of the cars on display featured some technological advancements that were ahead of their time and later incorporated into some production vehicles, they were designed mainly for looks that at the time made these vehicles seem like they were from the future. They were lower, smaller and sleeker than anything else on the road.
The cars on display include a 1953 Pontiac Parisienne, a two-door town car-style vehicle with an open driver’s compartment and roof covering the back seat. There’s also a 1955 LaSalle II Roadster, a convertible that somewhat resembles a jet fighter with tail fins over the back wheels that stick out like tiny wings, and the curvy and aerodynamic 1955 Chevrolet Biscayne, which sported a windshield that curved into part of the roof, reminiscent of a Tesla windshield.
