The only national security threat is Trump—and the GOP.

No, this is a Canbus:

Fixed that for you.

The Urbanina was a mid-60’s city car concept that was basically a wicker basket on wheels powered by a 175cc, 8.5HP motor. Part of the idea was that you would have several interchangeable bodies, so you could sit in a metal bucket instead of the basket if you wanted to.

Along similar lines to the Quasar was the Voiture Électronique Porquerolles. It was meant to revolutionize personal transport, as these things were always supposed to. It had two small electric motors powering the rear wheels and steering was by joystick. They actually built 200 of them between ‘69 and ‘72.

The Litestar - designed by aircraft builder Jim Bede, built in Iowa in the 1980s. About 360 were produced and sold, and a lot of them are still on the road today.

Harper Invacar. Designed so the disabled could have a way to get around after WWII. Had a 147cc engine at first, ended production with a 500-600cc. Driven with a tiller instead of a steering wheel and could fit a wheelchair. No foot controls. Kind of like a covered moped for someone who is disabled.

Monorail front controller car? Missing amusement park ride made by Zamperla? Rail car from some Logan’s Run sequel? No... it’s the Bond Bug! The Bond Bug is a small British two-seat, three-wheeled sports car built from 1970 to 1974. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bond_Bug

1969 Fascination:

Since we’re including 3 wheelers in here, I submit the Rivet. It’s a 3 wheeled, 2,000 pound, 500hp, Cadillac powered steampunk looking “trike” that William Shatner is riding cross country as I type this. He’s in MO right now.

The Mazda Suitcase Car!

Man, I was sooo disappointed when they folded.

Jeep Wrangler. As I took my doors off for cruising around on Memorial Day weekend, I came to a sudden realization, “This thing is just a big toy.”

The Carver One. A 3-wheeler that seats 2 in tandem, and banks into turns according to how hard you turn the wheel? How could you drive this and not feel like you were in a jet or something? Unfortunately I don’t think many were built, and I seem to remember the company going bankrupt a while back, but damn if that…

Geoff. Its more like a ramshackle lean too then a vehicle.

Do concepts count? If so, I nominate the Peugeot Moovie:

I’ve never actually been in one, but I have to imagine an Isetta is the production car that most closely mimics driving a vintage refrigerator.

Bucky Fulller’s Dymaxion Car was really effing outside the box. Rear engine, rear steer, wacky as hell. I recently learned Bucky wanted to make it able to be converted to an airplane, too. Just nuts.

GEM. More golf cart than car, yet road legal thanks to having lights, seat belts, and a windshield.

Nissan Pivo.
