I drove a '57 Corn Popper to grad school many years ago. Mostly ran it on the interstate between Cincy and Champaign /Urbana. It got about 27.5 MPG and I was 'required' to pump my own gas once they realized that I had to mix a little bit of gas with the measured amount of oil in a plastic jug etc......

This was also a panoramic back window, suicide door, hardtop sport coupe like Mark's; but with a maroon body and white top.

Three cylinders, three plugs, three points, three coils, two cycle 900cc engine, thermosyphon cooling, four on the tree, freewheeling, front wheel drive, radiator/heater core combined, headlite dimmer on the steering column, PUSH BUTTON STARTER SWITCH, and Horch style chrome chipmunk stripes down the trunk lid. Nothing conventional about this baby, and a hoot to drive!!

It was replaced by the 190Db.........
