Notes: Ford Motor Company, Dearborn, Mich. Dream Car of the Future. This is the Ford FX-Atmos, a future experimental car that will never be built for sale. Built by the Ford Motor Company as an example of possible styling concepts of the future, the car will be shown to the public at the Chicago Auto Show opening Saturday (March 13, 1954). The two-seater sports mode;, built of white, blue and red plastic, has stabilizer fins on rear bumper and needle-like antennae rods projecting from the front for a radar road-scanner which might be installed on the dashboard. No engineering has been done on the model and there is no engine. It's just a hotrod's dream at present.
