America’s Weirdest Tiny Cars?!

What happens when business owners, dreamers, and innovators attempt to reinvent the American vehicle? In this Deep Dive, Jonee explores 2 of the strangest and smallest automobiles ever constructed in the USA: the 1956 Eshelman Deluxe Adult Car and the charming 1947 Crosley Pick-up.

From lawnmower-powered “cars” to light-weight micro-trucks constructed for postwar America, these tiny lorries inform an interesting tale of technology, passion, and some really wild ideas. Along the way, we study failed flying devices, rocket watercrafts, copper-brazed engines, and the increase– and drop– of America’s microcar motion.

These cars and trucks might have been tiny, yet their stories are anything yet!!
