fut_v_bw_o_n (1964, GM lunar rover)

GM artist's concept, ca. 1964 of manned lunar exploration, as was brought to life in the company's "Futurama II" show/exhibit...ride actually, at the 1964/65 New York World's Fair.

Note the articulating, 'balloon'-wheeled "lunar crawler".

I like the lunar lander, old school, with a little edge.

 

Unfortunately, no signature visible. Although I’m sure it's not, the spacecraft & crawler have a McCall-like look.
