1969 AMC AMX/3
Starting with arguably the most unusual car on this list, the AMC AMX/3 was an American-designed, Italian-manufactured prototype. First unveiled at the 1970 Chicago Auto Show, this sleek muscular American supercar took blatant inspiration for the era’s exotic Italian automotive offerings. Despite being slated for a limited production run of 1,000 units, government safety regulations in the US would ultimately lead to the project’s abandonment after only five proto-specimens were produced (and some $2M dollars in R&D money was spent).

Mercedes-Benz SL-X Designstudie, 1965. A mid-engined supercar prototype designed under Paul Bracq with Giovanni Battistella (pictured with a 1:5 model). A change of leadership at Mercedes R&D meant the project was shelved. The concept of a mid-engined Mercedes was revived in 1969 with the C-111

If you’re born in a cubicle and grow up in a corridor, and work in a cell, and vacation in a crowded sun-room, then coming up into the open with nothing but sky over you might just give you a nervous breakdown.
