"Nucleon, a Glimpse into an Atomic-Powered Future," 1958
01
Artifact Overview
Ford Motor Company's conjectural Nucleon concept car of 1958 would've been powered by an on-board nuclear reactor -- assuming, as this brochure noted, that the technology became small enough and safe enough for everyday use. More a public relations exercise than serious research and development, the Nucleon never advanced beyond a non-functional, 3/8-scale model.
