Auto Red Bug












Red Bugs are small, two passenger, wooden buckboard cyclecars that were produced from 1914 to about 1930. Early Red Bugs where powered by a fifth wheel with an integral motor. The Smith Motor Wheel and the Smith Flyer were first manufactured by the A.O. Smith Co. of Milwaukee in 1914. Five years later, Briggs and Stratton bought the manufacturing rights and produced the little woodie for several years.











(Roland Bugatti)














The rights were sold to Majestic Engineering & Manufacturing Co., later known as Automotive Electric Service Company of North Bergen, New Jersey in 1924. Now called Red Bug or Auto Red Bug, production of the car continued. For a while, the Red Bug was powered by either the Motor Wheel or a Dodge 12 volt electric starter motor. The Motor Wheel was ultimately replaced with a five horsepower Cushman engine with chain drive to the rear wheels. The company was renamed Automotive Standards and in 1928, and an amusement park version featuring a wrap-around bumper was announced.

1989 electric car

I was really amazed reading this article

(copy paste)
La Jamais Contente (The Never Satisfied) was the first vehicle to go over 100 km/h. It was an electric vehicle with light alloy torpedo shaped bodywork (although the high position of the driver spoiled much of the aerodynamics). Chassis number was n°25. The land speed record was established, according to sources, on April 29 or May 1 1899 at Achères, Yvelines near Paris, France. The vehicle had two direct drive Postel-Vinay 25 kW motors, running at 200 V drawing 124 Amperes, and was equipped with Michelin tires.

Chevrolet Testudo 1963

It's a shame I could't find any better picture's from this car. But it's desigend Giorgeto Giugiaro when he was just 23 years old. (correct me if i'm wrong) The most remarkle thing on this car are those 2 big windshields. Between the shields they build some kinda rollbar for safety.
What I like most about this car are the line's: bumbers at exact same hight as the mainline in the car, no line is streaght, the headlights wich will flip forward when needed (headlight made of plastic instead off glass for pretent breaking it).
The most coolist thing is still the door/roof.

And yes it looks like a stretch out AMC pacer, because it's also a Bertone model
