Although not 100% pulp, most of the concept cars shown on this BBC News feature
http://www.bbc.com/news/in-pictures-28408408
come from the '30s to the '50s, and could fit in well in a variety of scenarios.

My own favourite is the GM I XP21 from 1953.

I have to go with the Prof. on this one. Sheer magic! It looks like something the Saint should be driving.

Another vote for the Timbs Special - looks like it would really pull the girls, although it doesn't look to comfortable for a bit of canoodling afterwards.

I'm a lucky guy. I own my dream car… a 1963 Porsche 356.

The Timbs Special is pretty nuts. I can see it as a hero car, kept in a secret garage, like Black Beauty, the Batmobile, or the Bluesmobile.

The huge enclosed rear area is fantastic - gives the mind all sorts of room to imagine hidden machine guns or even a pop-up turbojet!

That's a sweet car!

I love some of those tight little 50's & 60's sports cars. Another one with great lines is the BMW 507 Roadster.

My own ride is a BMW motorcycle, though it's not of such elderly vintage being only form the 80's. Sometimes I think about getting a Royal Enfield as a second bike though, which would be a far pulpier vehicle

Surely an inspiration for "The Marvel of the Age": Supercar.
