One of my neighbors had one of those when I was a wee lad in school.

The guy was a school teacher and the car was salmon and white.

He weighed about 350 pounds and so whenever he got in to drive it, it tilted WAAAAAAY over to the left side.

We kids thought it was hilarious to watch.


Correct me if I am wrong, but this car featured prominently in the cartoonist Bill Griffith's strip. "Zippy the Pinhead" drove these, when he was not driving a 1950 Studebaker bulletnose business coupe (with the wrap around rear train like rear window.

edit: I am not wrong:

I admit, I have to hand it to myself. hahahaha
