Ford La Galaxie, 1958. Designed by Elwood Engel using jet plane styling and futuristic detailing, the La Galaxie was the centrepiece of Ford's stand at the Chicago Auto Show. The reverse-angle rear window featured on Lincolns and Mercurys in the lat 50s and early 60s. Engle moved to Chrysler where he recycled some of the La Galaxie's styling for the 1963 Chrysler Turbine car. Like many "dream cars"of the 50s and 60s the La Galaxie was destroyed after its brief show career
