You are going back to 1947 in any car...

[Egz]

Technology can convert any car into a time travel device. What production car would you take that looks the most alien / futuristic?

Something simple?


Something unique?


Something different?


What would you take?

[josh_did_what]

First thing that popped in my head.

[S0RRY]

[Crimping Is Easy]

I second the Aventador.

[josh_did_what]

This is my second choice. If you pick any two others you're DIW imo.

[adrew]

It would be cool to bring something radical -- but think about fuel availability. I would take something designed to run on crap/sulfury/leaded fuel, like what you might see in Russia or South America.

I definitely wouldn't take a modern computer-controlled diesel or anything super complicated with tight tolerances.

VW Gol or something like that?

[mikegilbert]

I need futuristic looks and off road capabilities, so I'll choose the Vehicross:

Going back to '47 w low super cars

[BRealistic]

What grade of fuel was available then?

[wheeltowheel]

This?

[bherman13]

This?

Giant Ford badge and all. Something that hasn't changed since then and will be easily recognizable thus confusing them even more.

[Aonarch]

Plus it is German. The US would ****.

This, and any modern French car.

You might want to check that claim

Because electric.

Lets see. 1947. They didn't even have any freeways yet, a lot of roads were still dirt, not pavement, the fuel was leaded and low octane, diesel was difficult to find. Yeah, I'll take my chances in this :

[burtonxbordr94]

what about this?

[r_fostoria]

Well, considering Cadillacs ruled the road in 1947, I'd go back in one of these to show then that over 6 decades later we've still got it (They don't need to know about the 80s and 90s. )

[Air and water do mix]

Too new. It'd still grab a lot of attention because of that.

I'm more stealthy. Gimme a '47 Buick or some such, put 4 wheel disc brakes on it, beef the engine (still running on leaded fuel of the time) and give it modern, but high profile tires and some killer suspension. I've always loved sleepers.

Can I bring a car back with me, too?

Yep, and if any sensor goes bad or bulb goes bad, you're screwed. Forget about new tires for several decades.

[bustedbucket]

I'd be checking out roswell in a PONTIAC AZTEK!!!!!!

Um, in '47 they were already driving stuff like this on both coasts:







As low or lower than modern supercars. These were the predecessors to '50s customs, becasue by 1950, only 3 years later, they were driving these:





Other than the fuel, supercars would work just fine.

OTOH, I'd still probably take something like a Range Rover. Luxury and offroad ability and adjustible suspension height. Would definitely still stand out and get attention.

Post + username = awesome post considering thread content

[rj_shiver]

This

[IridiumB6]

Surely from 1947 to now they would stick soft touch material back into it...


In all seriousness, this. It can handle multiple terrain variants, and it looks futuristic as hell which was all the rave back then anyway..

[boner]

yep. this thing looks like it came from mars today, think about how many heads would assplode in 1947?!
