What happens when creators, entrepreneurs, and daydreamers attempt to transform the American vehicle? In this Deep Dive, Jonee explores two of the strangest and tiniest automobiles ever before constructed in the USA: the 1956 Eshelman Deluxe Grownup Car and the enchanting 1947 Crosley Pickup.
From lawnmower-powered “cars” to lightweight micro-trucks built for postwar America, these tiny lorries tell a remarkable tale of advancement, ambition, and some truly wild concepts. In the process, we study fallen short flying makers, rocket boats, copper-brazed engines, and the rise– and fall– of America’s microcar motion.
These autos might have been small, yet their stories are anything!!
