Each year, the Detroit Autorama showcases some of the most stunning customized vehicles. The venue has been held since 1953, and each year participants hope to land the coveted 'Ridler Award', for Best in Show. The award, named after one of the Autorama's early promoters, has been awarded to some truly spectacular cars. Of these, perhaps none have stood out more than the Deora, which took the award in 1967. Built out of a 1965 Dodge A100, the Deora was imagined as a pick-up from the future. Looking at it, the most striking sight is the lack of any doors. This is because one must enter from the front, which swivels open. If there was any doubt that the Deora would be immortalized amongst car-lovers, this was dispelled when Hot Wheels created a toy model in 1968 as part of their initial lineup.
Bonus:
From around 1350 to 1700 English underwent what is now called the Great Vowel Shift, in which all of its long vowels changed their pronunciations.
