Today&#39;s car is, in my opinion, the weirdest one yet. The TriVette was a 3 wheeled vehicle that was manufactured from 1974-1978. Only 27 of them were ever made. There is a fan page with historical photos and it&#39;s a real throw-back. https://www.thetrivette.com/index.html #WeirdCarMastodon

@weirdonwheels@social.chinwag.org That looks like it wheel stands all the time. What an oddball, should be in Wacky Races or another cartoon.

@thematic@mastodon.green Yes, I was thinking it looked like a weather-proofed equivalent to a motorcycle. One seat (for the driver) and probably a little space for luggage in the back, and just enough room for a motorcycle engine in the front. There might be a market for that these days: almost as fuel-efficient as a motorcycle, but doesn't expose you and your groceries to cold / rain /slush. @vwdasher@weird.autos @craigmorgan@mastodon.social @weirdonwheels@social.chinwag.org
