I realize “beauty” might be a stretch for some of you.

Did Ford actually build one? I never saw this one.

Yes, Ford built at least one. I thought it was silver (at least that's what I remember ) but this is a replica of an actual 1:1 car.  If memory serves.... I think the 1:1 wore 1957 wheelcovers.

Kind-of bizarre looking, but I like it.

I like the hint of the upcoming Edsel grill design.

I read that this was a non-running prototype. But someone with more money than sense actually made a running replica.

Thanks for spending your birthday researching facts about this unique vehicle. 😀 😀  Perhaps, THAT'S the car in my pic.... I mean, why would Ford put 1957 wheelcovers on a 1960's concept car?
