Does anyone remember a wild 2 seater Ford show car called the Gyron?? Its entire front end was a headlight, entry was via a fighter plane canopy, and it had gyroscope enabling it to cruise on two wheels----then extends two smaller wheels for city speeds. Very Jetsons-looking.  Really want that in 1/43, either on two wheels or with its small wheels deployed as if parked.

Scroll to 6th car down on this concept car countdown site.  Some are already in our scale. I searched for a link that seems clear of popups and other crap.

I have no news for you, but I would also like this model very much in 1:43-scale.
