This site has great content all over it (despite the interface struggling against my every effort to use it) but the 50 years of Japanese concept cars page is just amazing. Cyclops car!
So, retronauts is a fancy word for hipsters?
I think the spirit behind this site comes from a particularly British attitude to the past and has little or no connection to hipsterism. posted by A Thousand Baited Hooks at 1:35 PM on December 27, 2010 [3 favorites]

It seems a few steps up from a Tumblr account, in terms of information provided. A fantastic array of images, but not much in the way of background.
Which is to say, it sends me searching for more information, which might well be the purpose. And if you're looking for any more information on those Japanese concept cars, you can hover your cursor over the images for more, or click on the images and look at the file names. posted by filthy light thief at 2:57 PM on December 27, 2010
