Terrific article with it. Now that is something different all right! A face that only a mother frog could love. The tadpole-looking car, in its earliest form, can sure turn but looks a might unstable. But as an oddity or something just 'different', it fills the bill.

...another post WW II inspired design, right?

This was on display at the A-C-D Museum when we were there. Very cool.

Buehrig got rather extreme on this one. Still, he is a very talented designer. Thanks John.

It's different all right. Looks like a science project that really went bad. What's really interesting is that there is no doubt someone out there that would have found it beautiful, truly proving it's in the eye of the beholder.

If it were a choice between this and the Cybertruck, I'll take this.

@bob-jackman Bob; if those two were my only choices, I would turn in my driver's license.

Incredible, love the T Top reference "Buehrig called his invention a “roof with movable parts,” and he was awarded patent no. US2556062A in 1951. (After Chevrolet introduced the 1968 Corvette with T-tops, Buehrig sued General Motors and won, allegedly receiving a small settlement.)"
hoped u watched the video, that first little 3 wheeler travelling at 115MPH!
I also recall Gordon M. Buehrig working with Franklin Mint on their first diecast models.
Great post again, thanks John

Geoff, glad to see there are some here that can see beyond the differences and comprehend the qualities that many of these unusual cars possess. My pleasure.Incredible, love the T Top reference "Buehrig called his invention a “roof with movable parts,” and he was awarded patent no. US2556062A in 1951.

BTW, according to the article, Gordon M. Buehrig is responsible for designing the Auburn 851 Speedster, Cord 810/812, and several variants of Duesenberg’s Model J...true classic cars and rolling works of art.

And I'd be right behind you to turn in my drivers license too. I wouldn't want to be seen driving or riding in either of them!
