The 1962 Ford Seattle, a concept car not meant for production and bearing great similarity to the Lincoln Futura, an earlier concept car for Ford in 1957, which would eventually become the model for television's Batmobile.
The bubble design came from WW II fighter planes (P51). Improved visibility. Worked pretty well at 20,000 ft. Fins... the same - from the P38. This car may have a joystick.

You know I use to have to put a towel over my steering wheel when I parked outside in Tucson.
And where is the steering wheel for this 6 wheeler? Oh yeah. I get it it.
It steers by brain power.

Somehow futuristic design from the late 50s/early 60s era looks so much cooler than anything designed since then.
