Car Design Failures!

Picture of an old eight-wheeled car.
An eight-wheeled car for a smoother ride!

I am trying to imagine the insurance implications of some of these inventions.

This article “9 car designs that went nowhere,” is a great read!

Adding a horse-head to a car so it doesn’t spook horses?!

Who knew that the same guy who patented the muffler in 1897 also tried to make a smoother car ride by making an eight wheeled car!

Or, a steam engine powered car — good for 30-50 miles– that could scald it’s passengers but could be filled up at a river or pond . . .

The amphibious Amphicar of 1961 . . . What a fun read!
