50% Informative
The Ford Nucleon 1958 sits firmly in the heart of the atomic age.
The concept was a nuclear fission powered car with an actual uranium reactor in the trunk.
The car would have no harmful emissions, because nuclear power is far cleaner than gasoline.

The Ford Nucleon was envisioned as a long vehicle even by 1950 standards.
It stretched 200 inches from nose to tail and measured 77.4 inches wide.
The wheelbase was 69.4 in length, the size of a Maserati Gran Turismo .
The car could travel an astonishing 8000 kilometres before needing to be refuelled.
While it might have been possible to fit a reactor into the car, the project couldn't escape the laws of physics.
A working prototype of the Ford Nucleon was never built at the time, it simply couldn't be built.
