H-M-Vehicles Free-way.
The H-M-Vehicles Free-Way (H-M meaning high mileage) was a three-wheel microcar manufactured in Burnsville, Minnesota, from 1979 to 1982.
These small commuter cars had a single seat and were powered by a 12 or 16 horsepower gasoline engine (345cc/453cc) or a 4 hp electric motor.
Around 700 were produced.
I've linked the wikipedia page above and there's some more info here

I had the misfortune of seeing a strange Ford Capri today, dont know how to post images by phone so have a link http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_Capri_(Austral...
Ah, yes. XR2, Aussie-style - 0-100kh in around 12s... And this from the land of the V8 SupercarMoving on...
I think this was only a prototype, but for me, the R16 front doesn't work well on a two-door coupe...
Surprised no one has mentioned that it's clearly been based on the Porsche 356C
I can't work out which end the engine is at. I found one review that says it rear wheel drive, but as it's based on Peugeot mechanics does that mean it might actually have a front engine/front wheel drive package mounted in the rear?

Never mind that. What's the wee pininfarina designed coupe in the background of the second pic? Looks like an old Peugeot 204 but actually suspect it's a Mazda of some sort. Lovely none the less
My Google-fu has failed me. Looking at the panel crease and the falling-away tail, I was thinking it's a Bertone creation rather than Pininfarina, like the Alfa 105, but the stance is wrong and it doesn't look like a Bertone badge on the flank, although it's not much like a Pininfarina badge either.Halmyre said:

How slow do you type, my reply was 30 minutes before yours! (told you it was Bertone..)

Ooh, i like that a lot.
One of those odities you wouldn't think about.
Speaking of which have we had the Mk2 MR2 Softop yet?
I have a strange want for one of those as well.
These were rare too, mainly because they were ridiculously expensive - the Celica cabriolet.One of those odities you wouldn't think about.

I didn't know that seaplanes are manouevred around by vehicles cut in half.
