The Lumpymobile

I usually like cars with body lines that accentuate the wheels.
Proving once again that you can have too much of a good thing the "Tucker-Tremulis-Neidlinger-Kaiser-Fraser Sports Car" is as ugly as it's name.

Notice "Multiple exhausts in the rear serve cooling function too"

Alex Tremulis had a license to dream when he made this prototype. Alex was involved in several designs that were very unconventional.

Metro Prowler - Words Fail Me

It's best just to show the picture:
A Geo Metro came as a front wheel drive car with a three or four cylinder engine.
A Prowler came as a rear wheel drive car with a six cylinder engine

This car has side pipes - indicating at least four cylinders on this side of the car.
  • Did they drop in an eight cylinder?
  • Did they put in a four cylinder and the pipes are only on one side (I doubt this)
  • Did they leave the stock engine and add nonfunctioning pipes
These are just a few of the questions this picture inspires.
