This custom made car was used in the 1982 Movie "Blade Runner".
One of the most prolific and creative artists of our time, virtual futurist Syd Mead, designed most of the cars and sets for the Ridley Scott feature film Blade Runner, which was set in Los Angeles in the year 2019. Constructed by noted customizer Gene Winfield, Mead's taxi plies the streets of a futuristic city populated with "replicants," some of which had to be destroyed by the film's leading character played by Harrison Ford. The vehicles were severely mechanical in appearance, which helped evoke a future in which personal expression was discouraged.
