That was my first thought. Not to many owners in Nevada or Utah either. Here by the ‘giga factory’ you would roast in one.

And here's what Texas did with it :)

hop in when it’s been sitting in 90deg+ sun for a few hours and spontaneously burst into flame when yer azz hits the seat...

Maybe there’s a powered patio awning that unrolls out of stowage?

Who could forget The Pacer?!

It’s the Albino-Bat-Mobile.

THe Eagel was the precursor the to the downsized Jeep Cherokee. 4WD and uni-body design based on the AMC Hornet.

The original SUV.

It’s the Albino-Bat-Mobile.

Nope, it's THE Batmobile, in pre-Batmobile livery. That's the Lincoln Futura concept car, which Ford sold to George Barris in the '60s. It was modified into the original car used in the TV show. There were several fiberglass-bodied copies made from it, but this is the original.

I think someone actually brought it full-circle and modified one of the fiberglass copies to look like the Futura originally appeared.

Way cooler than a Tesla in either version.

But I am beginning to think it probably comes with a giant sliding shade. It would be cool if the shade extended fully to the dashboard (only while parked).

That's gotta be the case, the "retractable shade" is all the rage right now. I had a heck of a time finding a new F-150 *without* the "double panoramic moonroof" and the powered sunshade. Programmable shade settings would be a cool idea, it could be linked to driver preferences like seat and steering wheel positions.

Likely tint is adjustable electronically. Search engine “SPD Smartglass”. Currently in use on top line Mercedes.

Gremlins actually made pretty cool hot rods

This one has a 360ci V8

AMX-GT?

I almost bought one of those back in 1979, I needed a car real bad. Then my cousin sold me his ‘69 Camaro.

You made wise choice grasshopper.

Chingao, that thing is clean. SCHVEET!

AMC had a couple of cool cars, the AMX/Javelin and the Gremlin.

AMC is part of Chrysler; in theory they could bring them back. I think the Gremlin would do well, especially if it had a performance option.

I had a 66 Rambler Classic. Loved that car!

Learned how to drive with a 1962 Rambler 3 on the tree. Had to add a quart of oil with every fill up. This was around 1974..
