Maybe it's because I love the old vintage Airstreams so much, but this crazy 1930's era Stout Scarab would sure be cool to own.
Designed by William Bushnell Stout and inspired by the Dymaxion car conceptualized by Buckminister Fuller, this Rolling Art Deco rig actually went into a very limited production. They only hand built about 100 of what could rightfully be called the first "minivan", so having one in this day and age is a rarity.
Very cool indeed, and innovative too. Ponton styled body, rear mounted engine, independant suspension, and a unitized body that emulated an aircraft fuselage. They were considered "ugly" at the time, but hey, art is subjective and this rig could only be called rolling art.
