It reminds me of Volkswagen “Thing”.
- jacquesm 4y agoCompared to the beetle it's a tent on wheels. The beetle is quite strong for a car designed in those days.
- userbinator 4y agoCompared to a 2CV, I agree; but it was definitely less substantial than the average American sedan back then.
- jacquesm 4y agoYes, that's true whatever came out of Detroit in those days would classify as an armored vehicle now. The steel on those things was a time and a half as thick as your typical EU economy car. That showed up in the kerb weight as well.
- TedDoesntTalk 4y agoThe Thing is not the Beetle. Different cars.
- jacquesm 4y agoAh that one, sorry I didn't know it was marketed as the 'Thing'. Yes, lots of parallels with the Mehari there. And with the Moke, similar concept but using Mini parts.
