Thursday, November 17, 2022 -- LA Auto Show Press Day - Part 1

Never heard of this EV brand before.
I think it's called INDI ONE.
They were set up in the lobby when you enter the building with the Porsche hall in it.


Electric mustang.
Don't see the point...


This product reminds me of a concept vehicle I worked at GM in the early 1990s.
It was called the narrow lane vehicle, with four wheels.
This solution solves all the FMVSS safety problems by going with 3 wheels, which categorizes it as a motorcycle and doesn't have to meet any of the crash safety requirement for 4 wheeled vehicles.

It you compare it to a motorcycle, it looks safer.
It's nice to be protected from the weather also.
But, comparing to cars, it's chances in a collision would seem dim...

Sunday, November 6, 2022 -- French & Italian Car Show @ Woodley Park (Van Nuys) - Part 11

Interesting spare tire location.
Really frees up the rear cargo area (especially for the wagon version).



Have not seen the inside of the decklid on a Bugatti Type 57.
Interesting use of wood for reinforcement.

Scintilla rear lamp unit.
