General Giluke (Shouhei Yamamoto), one of the major bad guys from Dengeki Sentai Changeman, in his Super Giluke form.

I find his costume reminiscent of that worn by the evil Incas (from the planet Venus) in the early toku series National Kid (1960-61).

🚘 Oldsmobile Incas Concept (1986) - one of the most radical and futuristic concept cars in American automotive history.

🕰️ Unveiled in 1986, the Incas was a bold vision of what Oldsmobile could become in the high-tech, aero-driven era of the late Cold War.

🎨 A dramatic wedge-shaped supercar with sharp geometry, flush surfaces, scissor doors, digital displays, and a cockpit that felt closer to a fighter jet than a Detroit sedan.

⚙️ Engineered by Italdesign under Giorgetto Giugiaro, the Incas featured a mid-mounted twin-turbo V6, AWD, four-wheel steering, and advanced composite construction.

❌ Never intended for production. The Incas remained a pure technology and design manifesto - far removed from Oldsmobile’s showroom reality.

💡 More than a car, the Incas was a statement: a glimpse of an American brand imagining a European-style, tech-forward future it ultimately never pursued.

While some authors make an exaggerated claim that it was a "state-planned economy" or even "socialist", the Inca economy was impressive. There was little to no commerce as such; the production of all the empire was administered and redistributed by the state. I have to look up the exact quotes now, but the Spanish were impressed that they saw no poor people among them, because they could simply go to the local tambos to take the food or clothing they needed; these tambos also served as administrative centers for the whole *bureaucracy* this needed. And it was so efficient that people in Cuzco, 3000 meters high in the Andes, could enjoy fresh seafood from the Pacific and items from the nearby jungles. There have been other "palace economies" where the central "palace" redistributed resources like say in Greece, the Middle East, but those were mostly city-states, not an empire that covered almost half of South America. It was something unique.
