USS - a portfolio of probabilities _05

USS - a portfolio of probabilities _05 by Prof. Michael Stoll.
Sometimes students are good for a big surprise - as in this case. Having read one of my shorter posts (actually this one: www.hs-augsburg.de/~mstoll/?p=411 ) on a website about retro-futurism, Dennis Bille one day came around with a quite large set of folders and unpacked these wonderfull illustrations. Obviously they once were give-a-ways from "United States Steel International" to show, how the future might look like - from a early 60s perspective. Dennis Bille got these folders from a retired designer as a gift for helping to close down his office. what a symbolic story!

I'd say the artist predicted the 1980s pretty well (aside from the alien animals).

This looks like the James Bond car that turns into a submarine.

Did people have to lay down in order to fit in their cars in the future? The future must be full of chiropractors or something.
