Okay. Who can identify this bizarre automobile?
This is a Dodge Deora, a custom show car designed in the 1960s for Chrysler, most likely as a theoretical Mopar counterpart to the El Camino and Ranchero available from Chevy and Ford, respectively (side note: The GMC version of the El Camino was the Caballero). It's gotta be one of the weirdest looking carrucks (car-truck hybrid a la El Camino, Ranchero, Subaru Brat, or Dodge Rampage) ever conceived. It takes "cab-forward" design to the extreme, utilizing a Ford rear window lift to gain entry with a swinging door.
BMW Isetta, eat your heart out!

Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.
Send e-mail to my profile if interested.

Cool... BUT my first quick impression is... HOW do you get out if you get in a front end collision?
Want!
Its like the entrance hatch on those micro pre-war BMW nuggets.
No idea what they're called, but I'm sure you owned one as a kid, because what didn't you own as a kid?
Weer'd...
It was the BMW Isetta
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isetta
There was a Top Gear episode that showed what happened to those Front Openers if you got too close to your Garage wall. And of course, on the Street, all the guy whose parked in front of you has to do is back up his car until the bumpers almost touch, and then, how do you get in to back it up and drive away?
Yet, something tells me that Gooberment Motors is working on this Concept even as we speak. Maybe a Front Opening VOLT will help "Save the Planet?"
Thanks PISSED. And you know Jay had one that had 180,000 miles on the clock, that he drove around in for 3 months until it caught fire!
Les: Also I imagine the prognosis for a front-end collision was listed as "Send Flowers".
I had the Revell kit as a pre-teen kid. Sprayed it that exact same color.
Back when a kid could buy a can of Testor's Spray Enamel, and the glue, too.
Better days.

The front seat occupants of 60's and 70's Volkswagen rear engine / rear wheel drive buses did not fare too well in front end collisions either. They sat on the front wheel wells in front of the suspension with only the dash and steering wheel, some styrofoam sound deadening material, thin sheet metal and a bumper separating their legs from the effects of the front end collision.
The advent of the Chrysler K-car platform and then the Dodge Caravan / Plymouth Voyager / Chrysler Town n' Country minivans ushered in the age of front wheel drive vans that had the engine and drive train in front of the passenger compartment. The engine and drive train were configured to help absorb energy in a crash.
You want to see a damn classy looking one of those car-truck hybrid things? Take a look at the old Volkswagen Double Cab. One of the prettiest cars truck thingamajigs there is.
