Ray Otto has a jumbo-sized affinity for tiny little cars. He's got a bunch of the little rascals — 14 at the moment.
He has three Nash Metropolitans at last count. But his real claim to fame in the microcar world is his fleet of rare NSU Prinz models. He's got 11 of those.
Otto never planned on being known as the "NSU Prinz" guy, but he has certainly become visible in micro car circles for both his knowledge and his collection, and also for the parts that he has distributed to help other NSU Prinz owners.
A look back at Ford's vision for the future with its 1965-1969 show cars
During the 1960s, auto manufacturers exhibited show cars based upon their production versions at the annual auto shows, Ford Motor Co. included. Just like the more exotic concept cars, these production-based show cars showcased ideas that would be or could be put into production at some future time, as well as far-out ideas that really had no chance of going beyond the auto show circuit. The latter sort of features simply highlighted the imagination of the manufacturers' designers. This article spotlights Ford's sportier show vehicles from 1965 to 1969, and those cars' unique features.
Swedish awesomeness abound with this 1964 Volvo 544. We'd buy this Volvo.
We've never lusted after an old Volvo before, but that changed when we stumbled across this great piece of Swedish awesomeness hanging out in Prescott Valley, Ariz. It's a 1964 Volvo 544, and these things are just so odd and unusual that we need to own one at some point.
So many parts of this car remind us of other cars — Dodge, Volkswagen ... maybe even a '40 Ford. It's all rolled up into one funky humpback package.
