I was browsing through a copy of "Total Lemons", which is about cars that
did not make it in the marketplace or perhaps never got past the prototype or
concept stage. Amnng them was a nuclear-powered car called the Ford Nucleon,
which was going to be powered with steam from a small nuclear reactor:

There was also a Gaia Deltoid, the Pininfarina Diamond, the Davis Boot
Scooter (none of which I can find any information on), the Packard Predictor
(on display at the Studebaker museum), and finally the Ford Gyron, a 2-wheeled
car for which they made one working prototype.
