This is for the true collector. The Detroit Motor Show "Autorama" of 1961 was a scene that science fiction films were realized. Major car companies competed to exhibit "future cars" and to highlight their respective advances. Ford, one of the largest in the automotive industry, exhibited a three-wheel, fully-automatic turbine car "GYRON", and as its name suggests, it was an ultra-high-tech car that corrected the vehicle balance with the built-in gyro.
Design like spacecraft is cool! The Ford Gyron was an eye-catching concept car that ran on two wheels like a motorcycle at the Detroit Motor Show in 1961. The car, which was manufactured as a concept car, was a novel car that was controlled by a gyroscope and traveled on two wheels, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a fire in 1962 and has not survived. The design is said to have been involved in the illustration design for the presentation at an early stage, "Sid Mead" famous for the design of the movie "Blade Runner" and "Samurai Gundam". As the name of GYRON (Gyron), it was a future car of mid-sen cherry design that adopted a system of gyro scope to enable two-wheeled driving.
