The Golden Sahara by George Barris

It created a worldwide sensation, and then abruptly disappeared for decades.

Bud, shouldn't pictures of this beauty be in Gallery 8 "Future Cars" from the 1950s, 1960s -- and today!?

And the Warlords of Atlantis thread has a discussion about the Golden Sahara, too, including the pictures below and a great YouTube video.

I actually saw the Golden Sahara in Atlanta when it toured the country to promote the Jerry Lewis movie, Cinderfella in 1960. I bought a copy of the second photo above, and I have it framed on my living room wall, along with seven other "future car" pictures.

It's the one above the chair at the end of the table nearest the corner. Cool



That thread also includes new info about the Golden Sahara's extensive restoration in recent years.
