it was made in 1958,
but I have to say obsolete or not I thought it was a nice car both at the time and now,
but then along comes this Scarab I had not heard of before, the 1936 Stout Scarab, beating the Reventlow number of 8 cars built, the Stout Motor Car Company of
Detroit, Michigan, between 1935 and 1949 built 9 cars, the car that William Bushnell Stout built (who many call The Father of Aviation), was way ahead
of it's time, not only did it
have a unit construction body made out of light aluminum, it featured the
famous Ford flathead V8 engine placed at the rear driving the rear wheels via a
Stout-built three-speed manual transaxle, it had a 135-inch wheelbase, 4-wheel
independent coil spring suspension, and the most spacious cabin of any American
car as the result of no running boards and no drive shaft tube, this $5,000
aerodynamically vehicle was well ahead of its time, by the way going back to
the Scarab that Lance built I had heard that there is a company remanufacturing kits of
them, but I know nothing of the company other
than their web page, would I like one? you bet!
