At the Cadillac exhibit during the 1960 Chicago Auto Show, a small crowd stands behind the railed-off display for the experimental two-passenger Cadillac Cyclone. The concept included a 325 horsepower V-8 engine under the hood, and the black projectile extensions on the front fenders contained radar systems. While GM never used the Cyclone nameplate on production models, the Mercury division of Ford Motor Co. did, first on the high-performance Mercury Comet compact cars for 1964.
