Handmade 1952 Wooden Car on Ebay

Pretty Neat!

The seller has a bunch of other nice vehicles for sale, including a pretty '69 280SL.

(I have no connection with this... just thought it was an interesting vehicle.)

Bizarro, but what do you do with it besides put it in the living room?

I always wondered what it would look like if I decided to build a car in my garage.

Interesting indeed. Thanks for sharing.
It’s pretty cool if you ask me. I’d bet it scoots right along too. I’m thinking an ear plug in the right ear of the driver may be a good idea though. Engine and intake are look’n pretty close there.

Solid hardwoods everywhere, but an ugly exposed sheet of ply behind the seats? Odd.

Any guesses as to its weight?


“…however comforts like climate control are absent.” Not to mention seat comfort.

“…innovation and individual creativity…” Now there’s an understatement.
