    I’m from Switzerland, living in the US for almost 30 years, and I grew up seeing this, then ugly cars on our narrow roads almost every day. I’m a Ford guy and building me a vintage race car using a 63 Falcon Sprint. I have to tell you, this is probably the cooles little Hot Rod you had on your show! Love it, great find!

    I remember the Dauphin. I don't remember anyone I knew driving one, but I saw some around. Maybe I remember the advertisements for them. Wow! That was a long time ago.
    I remember making several long road trips, like Oxnard, CA to South Mississippi and back, before there were inter-state highways. We all chose a type of car, then counted them as we saw them. Turning the odometer over in our '58 Impala station wagon was a group partition countdown. We had a gallon cider jug with a cork, for my two brothers and me to pee in.
    Odd how something's, such as this video, trigger strong reminiscences. I love what the builder did on this rig. Just pure balls out fun!

    Crazy little car. Put a bunch of par6ts together properly and you can get a really kickass car. My Mom had a little Renault Gordini back in the late 70's. Crazy little car. Had to heat the motor during the winter so it would not freeze and start in the morning. Remember going out to the garage after dinner, putting a tarp around the motor with a 100W bulb inside and tying the tarp with straps. Was just enough warmth to stop it from freezing. And had to unwrap it every morning after breakfast. Be safe and stay well.
