Way cooler than a minivan. Kind of reminds me of a Tatra.

I was gonna say, that looks like back when they were doing a wholesale ripoff of the Tatra instead of just a dressed up copy.

And they ain't cheap.

"Only eight or nine of the vehicles -- the jury is out on just how many units were produced -- were built from 1934 to 1939."

Must be fun trying to find parts.....

Scarab, right? Pretty cool, rational design.

His fleet of vintage automobiles includes a 1941 Mercedes Benz custom-built for Nazi leader Hermann Goering

Legit.

Here's another contemporary design. In theory, it came first...

One of these made the Interstate Battery trip across America in the early 1990's. They made a stop in Dallas and I got to see it up close.

Everyone was wondering why it took so long for this body style to catch on.
