10 Incredible Vintage Concept Cars

June 30, 2019

6. Ford Gyron

Can you tell why this car is called the Gyron? It’s only got two wheels, and was to be stabilized through the means of some kind of gyroscopic system. Yeah, I wouldn’t have guessed either. The wheels were laid out like on a motorcycle: one at the front, one at the back. When stationary, two kickstands (essentially), kept the car stable. The thought behind this was that the car would be able to bank into turns like a motorcycle, enabling sharper cornering.

The Irish-Australian inventor, Louis Brennan, was given credit for the Gyron, despite having died 29 years before it was unveiled in 1961, as it drew substantially from his gyroscopic theories. The designer, Alex Tremulis, had previously worked on a project designing and testing military flying saucers for the US Air Force, before coming to Ford. Sadly for any would-be collectors out there, the only fiberglass concept was destroyed in a fire in 1962.
