British eccentricity at its best, the epitome of fine engineering...
Yes - the "Peel" was an officialy manufactured vehicle, but somehow was never a big success.
From TIME Magazine:
Less a car than a 5th-grade science project on seed germination, the Peel Trident was designed
and built on the Isle of Man in the 1960s for reasons as yet undetermined, kind of like Stonehenge.
The Trident was the evolution of the P-50, which at 4-ft., 2-in. in length could justify its claim
as the world's smallest car, or fastest barstool. The Trident is a good example of why all those
futuristic bubbletop cars of GM's Motorama period would never work: The sun would cook you alive under
the Plexiglas. We in the car business call the phenomenon "solar gain." You have to love the heroic name:
Trident! More like Doofus on the half-shell.

One of the most elegant sports cars ever built - the Jaguat XK140 - with the lines of a panther.
Produced by Lord Nuffield in his "Morris Garage" - a pair of classic MG's
Fisker - probably the biggest baddest hybrid on the market today. But it has environmental benny points...
A pair of Tesla's - they said it couldn't be done - all electric - blindingly fast, and a respectable range.
Pierce Arrow convertible - pure class...
The Fisker with the Mayor's all-electric Nissan Leaf behind it
Convertible - for going to the drive-in movies and sitting in the back seat with your prom date
Dangerous wheels - could lead to a shot-gun wedding in those days...
A car with authority

Nothing quite like an open tourer to drive down the coast to Hollywood...
