 Commentary by Mark

1955 Ford Mystic

This one is something I like too. Very odd but sometime compared with some others of that era this one seemed just right. ALMOST. OK this car had front glass curved all around the vertical center pillar at the back of the door and that whole assembly lifted UP! there were NO sliding or roll down windows (hot!) passengers had to rely on air conditioner for air 

NO .. what looked like a periscope on the top is a roof vent.. 

There were huge round tail lights beneath the fins.. where the parking lights would usually be were the bumper pods for air cooler reservoirs. Has a gas turbine engine mounted in the rear.. steering was a control stick AND! could be swung around from driver side to passenger side 

YEAH! NO NO! LET ME DRIVE!! ... end of the car? don't know.. most are scraped WAY back then.. or museum or collector.. don't you just love those colors?!
