The Astra-Gnome is a concept car by industrial designer Richard Arbib using a 1955 Nash Metropolitan chassis. It was described as a “Time and Space Car”. It features themes influenced by the space travel forms that were popular during the 1950s. The vehicle represented Arbib’s vision of what an automobile would look like in the year 2000.

Ever sat up front in a plane? It’s intensely hot even with a roof. The sun would cook you alive in that thing, even on the ground.
