The cars of the future

As seen in 1948.




No flying cars here - after all, we do liven in the 1948 people's future - although at least one of these looks like it should fly.

    Thoose 3 wheeled cars were great.....




    ....just as long as you never exceeded 10 MPH.

    You can see the inherant instability even when the 3 guys get in the car. Scary

    Well, the Reliant motor company in England produced a car very much like that up into the 1990's. It used to be quite common in the UK, as having only 3 wheels and a small engine, the annual tax was quite a lot less than normal.
    Here is a video of some exceeding 10 MPH in a race:
