Another car from a similar idea. I saw this one in Owl's Head Museum.

The museum is worth a stop.

Fell in love with the Vixen ever since I saw the first one at a RV show back in about 1983 or so. If I ever got one, it would have to be the original BMW diesel powered, manual transmission version. Not the later Buick V6/auto.

There were dozens of similar car ventures like that based on the Dynamaxon. They all failed.

This is another one along the same lines. I actually rode in one of these back in the mid 60s.
