Something different. Yes, totally different. It was heralded in the '30's as something really innovative and before its time. Cute little bugger isn't it!

I had the Brooklin version but recently sold it.  It was a cool and very unusual model; I always wondered why Brooklin chose it to model.  I guess you could say it was the original SUV?

William Stout was an airplane designer/engineer. The motor for the vehicle was a flathead Ford mounted in the rear.

I've just missed the 1/43 a couple of times, hope to snare one. Genuine unique vehicle thanks John

Back in 1936 the new car price was $5K...part of why it never caught on.

@sizedoesmatter We had a toaster when I was growing up that looked like that, but I don’t think it had windows.
