1964 Winfield Reactor Custom 1964 Winfield Reactor Custom 1964 Winfield Reactor Custom This extraordinary car was designed and built for the 15th annual Hartford Autorama by Californian Gene Winfield. The aluminum body was welded to a steel tubular framework mounted onto a modified Citroen DS chassis with a turbocharged engine from a Chevrolet Corvair. The hood, doors, hidden headlights and roof can all be operated by remote control. Originally called the Autorama Special, the car was sold after the show but was soon purchased back by Winfield and renamed the Reactor. The car became famous after he showed it around Hollywood, where it was invited to appear on TV shows Star Trek, Batman and the comedy Bewitched, which featured the Reactor in an episode specifically written for the car. It was often surrounded by celebrities who wanted to have their picture taken with it. After several owners, Gene purchased the car back in 1995.
