I’d say he succeeded. I mean if there’s any doubt just take a gander.

Did he ever make anything else? Or was this his swan song?

He really stuck his neck out with that design. I guess he really wanted to trumpet his success.

Somehow I think she’d be down with that.

And of course Bjork would have to be your passenger when the Swan Car is taken for a spin:

The sexual revolution, LSD, ‘ludes, bell bottoms, the pet rock.

But the car would be in a Dubuque scrapyard.

Username checks out.

I hate to be that guy, but Prohibition was repealed in 1933, three years before this car was built so this definitely was not used to smuggle liquor. Was it used by the mafia to stalk people on the streets of Chicago and New York and take them out? Probably.

I would “Walk This Way” “To The Other Side” “If That’s What It Takes” to restore this van. Call me “Crazy” but “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”. “Dude” “This thing can “Come Together” with “Sweet Emotion” if we can get Steven Tyler “Back In The Saddle” of this old ride. Maybe I’m “Jaded” by “The Same Old Song and Dance”…

In some states, you don’t even need the air brake endorsement! It’s insane, you should AT LEAST need a bus license to drive these things. Living in Florida the number of crypt-keeper class old fogies driving Class As at 80mph is utterly horrifying.

We routinely see these things flying along at 75-80 mph, driven by someone with a yappy dog in his or her lap. In the clip shown above, the RV was passing the car with the camera, to accomplish speeding up, not as part of the flow and ebb of traffic.

Agreed. The fact that it’s a non-commercial vehicle shouldn’t absolve someone from needing a license to drive the thing. It’s ridiculous.

In one of the 50 previous articles on the matter, I made a post that highlights one of the ridiculous aspects of large RV ownership. To drive an equivalent class B vehicle, a person needs to go through all sorts of licensing, physicals, and training to understand how to operate one on the road. No such requirement…

Fine, I’ll take the bait.

Why is it so ugly?

Why is it so ugly? That rear wing is unnecessary.

I really want to like this car. Everything I’ve read about it sounds amazing but I just can’t get past how fugly it is.
