The Ford Nucleon was the most audacious and least realistic concept car of all time: an automobile with a nuclear reactor. What more needs to be said? Well, other than “here’s a nifty bit of concept art.”

Note that this illustration is from 1956, while the Nucleon is generally described as dating from 1957. This is therefore almost certainly an early illustration, before the final-ish design was settled upon. The more widely known illustrations of the Nucleon depict a distinctly different roof to the passenger cabin.
