Here are 18 futuristic machines as they were imagined in the 1940s. These kind of Popular Mechanic styled stuff always intrigues me, as our imaginative ideas of the future are limited to the confines of what we know to be true, today.
These 18 illustrations will capture your attention from both a technical perspective, as well as the design. They are truly inspiring on multiple levels.
You’ll eat them up, I promise.
Buon appetito!
I looked through them twice.
True story.

Classically retro. And I love how everything in the “future” is huge.

LOL! Great observation. So, so true.
