Crazy Vehicle

The  Tucker 48  (named after its model year) is an  automobile  conceived by  Preston Tucker  and briefly produced in  Chicago  in 1948. Only 51 cars were made before the company ceased operations on March 3, 1949, due to negative publicity initiated by the news media, a Securities and Exchange Commission Investigation and a heavily publicized stock fraud trial (in which the allegations were proven baseless and led to a full acquittal). Speculation exists that the Big Three  automakers and Michigan Senator  Homer S. Ferguson  also had a role in the Tucker Corporation's demise. The 1988 movie  Tucker: The Man and His Dream  is based on the saga surrounding the car's production. The film's director,  Francis Ford Coppola , is a Tucker owner and displays his vehicle on the grounds of his winery. The 48's original proposed price was said to be $1,000, but the actual selling price was closer to $4,000. A 1948 Tucker s...

After worlds war II ,  A British bike manufacturers, Royal Enfield built some extremely interesting parallel twins. But before the war their top of the range machine was a V-twin......... royal enfield logo then Royal Enfield’s sidevalve V-twin had been a stalwart of the company’s range for many years when it received a substantial overhaul for the home market in 1937. The earlier edition Model K was impressive enough at 976cc but the capacity of the revised KX was bumped up to 1140cc, making it one of the largest production motorcycles on the market. Today we tend to think of high-capacity machines as super sports  motorcycles but, as Bob Currie once commented, the KX was ‘a slogger… intended principally for commercial sidecar haulage’. However, the Enfield V-twin was almost £100 less expensive than the Brough 1150; an attractive proposition perhaps for an impoverished gentleman just recovering from the economic crunch of the early 1930s.   ...

BMW Designs A 42-Wheel, 19-Engine Car To Fulfill One Child's Fantasy the email by ELI uncle is  Last night my 4-year-old Jalop of a nephew Eli and I had a serious conversation about the car he wants to build. I know there are a lot of talented artists out there in the Jalopnik commentariat, and I would like to ask them all if they would consider drawing up their "Artist's Conception" of the car according to the carefully considered specifications he came up with. I would just love to give him a tangible expression of what his awesome imagination came up with. If anyone is particularly ambitious, I have access to a 3D printer so if someone puts together a solid .stl I could even print it for him (and a copy for whoever puts it together). So here are the specs he came up with, with surprisingly little input from myself: - It's a BMW - 42 wheels, and of course 42-wheel drive - It is powered by 19 Porsche engines, each producing 459 horsepower. I think they...

When the car was first featured at General Motors’ “Highways and Horizons” pavilion, it was a massive hit. Most people wouldn’t have seen Plexiglas before, so a transparent material with that many curves was almost unheard of.   Here you could look through the body of the car to see all its internal workings exposed. For aesthetic purposes all structural metal was given a copper wash, while the hardware and even the dashboard were covered in chrome. All the rubber elements in the car were made in white, including the tires. The final price for the car? In the days when a new Pontiac was just about $700, this beauty cost $25000 to build.  When this car was auctioned by  RM Auctions  in 2011, it went for just a little more than its original price. The one-of-a-kind car sold for $308,000. The Pontiac “Ghost” is equipped with a 2.2 liter six-cylinder engine, developing 85 horsepower and connected to a three-speed manual transmission. The transparent car is fitted with...
