This is the Ford FX-Atmos showcar, one of a dozen experimental cars that were on exhibit at the Chicago Automobile show, which was held in the International Amphi-theater and opened on March 13, 1954. The press photo caption tells us that it has radar antenna projecting from the headlight sockets and a rear mounted engine. The reality was that it appears to have been only a stationary show piece.
The body we have found referred to as being plastic and it was a test to see if the public would accept its styling features for the future. The Pearlescent white body was accented by a band of red on the front center. The bands on the top sides along with the tail-fins were ice blue. More views of this dream car can be seen at Modern Mechanix. The Old Motor photo.






























Those radar antennae look to be rather hazardous to pedestrians.
As I was butting the post together I had the thought that they might be frowned on by the NHTSA
