Re the Predictor ...
Where did they get the bit about it displaying a "realistic approach to functional styling"?
Oh, now I remember. Giant wraparound screens avoid any visual blind spots. Tailfins aid stability at speed. A roll-down rear window lets you suck health-giving exhaust fumes into the interior. Semi-enclosed front wheels stop you attempting potentially dangerous U-turns. And an extra ton of styling sheet metal helps the car hug the road better.
Gee whiz, cars were just so much more FUNCTIONAL in those days. I love it!

Oh, yes indeed. And it also worked pretty well on grass.

Before I saw the picture I had a completely different idea of what your post was about.
