    1957 Aurora prototype car - photos

    1957 Aurora prototype car. The vehicle had lots of safety features which were novel at the time, one of which is a foam filled bumper designed to safely catch pedestrians.

    The designers clearly thought more about "safely" shoveling up pedestrians instead of a windshield that isn't so weird as to maybe even prevent it.
    Also - A 1957 American car without tail fins? Inconceivable!
