Can't imagine anyone liking that front door.

I had a toy Matchbox Deora car when I was a kid. That is as close to one as I ever got. The grandkids had all the old hotwheel cars out of the closet today, I saw that car and it brought back memories. Now I am reading your thread of the same car. Stock photo.

I think it would have fun to drive. Of course a front head on collision would have ruined your day. But still fun.

That’s back when the USA was the world leader in innovation, designs, engineering and manufacturing.
Now it’s ??? China I guess?

Wow’ that’s pretty cool!
Much different from my 1965 Dodge 1 ton truck. Low production <200/year, expensive then at about $8,000.

Just like the old VW bus, your the second one at the scene of the accident, the bugs on the the windshield are first. It is kinda cool looking.

Not sure "innovation" is the word I'd use to describe this pseudo-truck. Space-age futuristic to be sure, but not really very practical. The whole truck-as-lifestyle-vehicle was still a few decades away.
