• Featured in Blade Runner (1982) Los Angeles street scenes
• Designed by Syd Mead, the visionary concept artist behind the film's futuristic aesthetic
• Hand-built by Gene Winfield, legendary Hollywood car customiser and effects fabricator
• Constructed on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis with custom fibreglass bodywork
• Exhibited at the Petersen Automotive Museum as part of Hollywood Dream Machines: Vehicles of Science Fiction and Fantasy (2019–2020)
• Acquired directly from Gene Winfield by Movie Cars Central
Created for Ridley Scott's Blade Runner (1982), this "Everyman's Car" was conceived by production designer Syd Mead as a mass-market urban vehicle populating the film's dystopian Los Angeles of 2019. Built by Gene Winfield's Mojave-based workshop on a Volkswagen Beetle chassis, the vehicle features hand-formed fibreglass coachwork and distinctive covered wheels, capturing Mead's aerodynamic and utilitarian vision of future transport.
Confirmed as screen-used in the film's downtown street sequences, this example later appeared in the Petersen Automotive Museum's acclaimed Hollywood Dream Machines exhibition (2019–2020), celebrating cinema's most iconic science-fiction vehicles.
Purchased directly from Gene Winfield by Movie Cars Central, it is one of very few surviving practical vehicles from the original production. The car is fitted with a gearbox but currently without an engine, and is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity signed by Gene Winfield, together with a certificate of sale to Movie Cars Central.
