CORRECTION: the Ford Seattle-Ite XXI was introduced at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair and not the 1964 NYC World's Fair

[@scotpens]

And the Roman numeral is 21, not 11! The 1962 Seattle World's Fair was called the Century 21 Exposition.

Looking at The 1961 Chrysler Turbo Flight body sides, I can now understand why the 1962 Plymouths and Dodges looked so strange.

No, he didn't. The design was by Eddie Graves and all the work was done by Bill Cushenberry. But Barris would never let that out while he was alive.

Too many factual errors in this video! Just to name a few...The Lincoln Futura was designated as a 1955 model year, not 1954. The Ford Seattle-ite XXI was featured at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair, not New York. The Roman numeral XXI in the name designated the "21st Century" which was the main theme of the fair. The 1959 Cadillac Cyclone was completely missed. It had a radar-operated collision avoidance system for goodness sake! Thumbs down for me...sorry.

Me as a german have to say, that there is no carmaker nowadays on this planet who comes nearly close to the beauty in design what cars looked back in the 50th and 60th.

4:46: The Firebird II was NOT the first gas turbine family car. Chrysler had a 1954 Plymouth turbine prototype that they drove across the country to prove its worth. 8:07: Chrysler turbine car: Complex maintenance? Hardly. Maintenance was near zero since there were only a few moving parts (two stage turbine, power steering pump, alternator) and no cooling system at all.

[@NormanGalipeau-k6y]

Bonjour Robert . La seule voiture que je me rappelle est la Corvette parce qu' elle a été mis en production et disponuble au marché . Il y a aussi la transmission à boutons ; mon onckd Roméo possedait une Plymouth équipé dr ce type de transmission .

I remember reading that when J Leno drove his turbine car it would melt the plastic bumpers of cars too close behind him at stop lights.

I thought Jay said it was his jet powered motorcycle that did that two cars parked too close behind him.

[@hagerty1952]

I dunno, the Firebird II looks like they forgot to assemble half the bodywork... Unique among this list is the Chrysler Turbine since they built more than one and even lent them out for real-world testing.

The 6 wheel ford was first shown at the 1962 World Fair in Seattle not New York. This car was only ever a 2-3 table model and never as a full size car. The red Lincoln Futura looks like a fiberglass recreation since the real car had chrome bumpers as well as the band of trim down the side. It was only red in the movie It stared with a kiss. It as originally a light metallic turquoise color. The Firebird ll had a titanium body, probably the first titanium car body. Better research and a computer voice would help this video.

[@TheGreatZantello]

Can you imagine a whole classroom of students watching this video for automotive history exam research and learning that Henry Earl was a top designer for GM. So now all these students will go forth in life spreading the knowledge to others that Henry Earl was a historical automotive designer. Here's my advice if you're making a documentary to educate the general public accuracy is of the utmost importance. This film and other films like it should not have been released unedited for exact historical accuracy before it was posted here. This example here is just as bad as saying that Jeffrey Washington was the first president of the United States.😮
