It’s hard to remember that there was a time before those disposable rideshare electric scooters were a plague on cities across this country. It was a simpler time when someone had to find something else to make a total fool of himself in front of the world…and I can’t imagine a better way to do […]
I really don’t understand the Japanese used car market. On one hand you can’t touch a MkIV Supra for less than $50k, but you could get something that is cooler, more unique, and more Japanese for much less money. Plus you get gull wing doors and mid engine power. Find this 1993 Autozam AZ-1 offered for […]
It constantly amazes me that people buy brand new cars from auto dealers that litter the planet. I understand that some people really love the new car smell and want something that won’t strand them on the side of the road…but why anyone would buy a new Smart ForTwo for $15k when you can get […]
The Meyers Manx was the original dune buggy for the everyman, but the roofless, doorless, and dry-weather-only setup isn’t for everyone, so Bruce Meyers designed the SR2 version which added a small top and gullwing scissors doors. The builder of this example ditched the typical VW flat-4 and instead went for a quad-carbed Corvair flat-6 […]
The Toyota Sera was a Japanese market only 2+2 built on the compact Paseo platform from 1990-1996, which would be an otherwise completely forgettable front-drive penalty box except for its gullwing doors and JDM exclusivity. With the doors closed and your econobox blinders on you’d probably drive or walk right past a Toyota Sera — it […]
The second of the Sunday kit car duo was the design handiwork of former Shelby American employee John Chun for Bradley Automotive. The GTII debuted in 1976 was a upmarket move for Bradley as the second gen cars featured true gull wing doors with frames, lower door sills, steel reinforced roof, improved bumpers, and better […]
It is kit car Sunday here at DT! We have a duo of gull-wing cars for your reading enjoyment. First up is real mongrel of a vehicle that started life as a 1987 Fiero. The chassis was stretched and then fitted with a pretty convincing Diablo VT body kit, proper fitting Compomotive wheels, and a […]
Are you going to be the guy who buys some oddball car just because it has cool doors? Sure. I guess there are far more terrible reasons to buy a car…and I am certainly one of the people who encourages this sort of errant behavior…so get crackin! Find this 1990 Toyota Sera offered for $7800 in […]
Do you want to be the center of attention at any car gathering? Forget an over restored piece of American muscle, or some overpriced piece of Eurotrash. And forget everything you know about getting attention…just pop open one of the scissors/wing doors on your Toyota Sera and attract car guys like a free beer. Find […]
The Aquila kit car is a forgotten piece of fiberglass that was offered in the 1980s as a way to spruce up your aging Volkswagen Beetle. A small California based company called American Fibre Craft built the bolt-on pieces of the kit and something in the nature of 150 examples were sold…which is both a […]
