Amazon MGM Studios aired the first season of its new TV show"Fallout." It's based on the long-running video game series that takes place in an alternative universe based on 1950s ideas of futurism, with it all leading up to all-out thermonuclear war and the aftermath. So to fit the look, any scenes that take place before the nuclear war feature '50s dress, political ideology, and, of course, automobiles.
1960 Plymouth XNR View 27 Photos The actual 1960 Plymouth XNR concept has a heaping helping of hypnotizing history. It was designed by Virgil Exner , who worked at Pontiac, Studebaker, and most famously, Chrysler Corporation. He started at Chrysler with concept cars, and the first production cars credited to him were the"Forward Look" models that included the original C-300 that would eventually inspire the 2005 Chrysler 300.
On top of the wild looks from designer royalty, the XNR was actually a fully functional car. It had a 170-cubic-inch 250-horsepower inline-six with a three-speed manual transmission and rear-wheel drive. And while it looks as though it only has a driver seat, there is a passenger seat hidden under a removable body panel. It also featured independent front suspension with torsion springs and a live rear axle with leaf springs.
