Ed Roth, American fanatic hot rodder (and also famous illustrator with Rat Fink), created the Mysterion, bubbletop show rod, in 1963 for a show car. Big success, the car was exposed in all the country during two years. But after this tour, the car was destroyed.

The Mysterion is a hot rod, modified classic American cars with upgraded engines for faster speed. Ed Roth took inspiration from the dragsters and added a bubble top. More about this concept on the Kustomrama Website

Looks like the car Marvin the Martian would drive. Very futuristic in a '60s kind of way

Yeah so 60s especially the interior with the fur and the small tv !

That's a friggin crazy looking machine, what sort of speeds would you get out of this beast?

I don't know because the car was destroyed and this is a replication, a lot of mysteries about Mysterion, more info on Hemmings
