Syd Mead Cruiser

 Whenever I see a T in a Circle Cabin Cruiser like the one Will O sent in this week

I always admire the cool and colourful box art on the side

And immediately think of this fabulous Syd Mead artwork

Do you know of any art in this sort of retro futuristic vein? 

AMT AMTRONIC

 

I love this AMTRONIC car.

I assume its a concept  and was never built.

I don't remember it being a die-cast either.

Is it a kit you had?

Syd Mead's Project SWORD?

 I'm continually blown way by the late American futurist Syd Mead's fabulous vehicle concepts like his early '60s US Steel ads. It staggers me that he could think these up as the 1950's were just fading. Do you like them?

There's something Meadish in the vehicle illustrations of the Project SWORD Annual 1968. Maybe the Century 21 and TV21 artists were inspired by Syd? What do you think?
