Last updated on September 5, 2021

Today’s car is a 1955 Lincoln Futura Replica.  George Barris created the Lincoln Futura replica in 1966 and even patented it.   I remember building a model of the original Lincoln Futura by AMT when I was about 10 years old. Also. Check out the link at the end of todays email for a look back the automobile aftermarket success of the 60s that was built on telling you how your car could be better.  Compliments of Hemmings.   I am sure some of you can relate to this grouping of advertisements. In the comment section at the end of the article in the second comment, is a link to youtube link that is a 1969 Javelin Commercial don’t miss that one.  I have also added that link at the end of this post.
