Apparently, it’s been done. Autoweek reports discovery of a car called the Davis Divan, a three-wheeled vehicle created in 1948.

Acoording to a blog on USA Today’s website, the car is part of a collection in Monterey, California that holds some of the worst cars ever built.

The vehicle was made by Glenn Gordon Davis, and was paid for by wealthy Indianapolis 500 driver Joel Thorne. Literally on three wheels, the car was created in order to be sold to World War II veterans – upon arrival of the returning soldiers, the new car industry was booming. Davis is said to have traveled the country, attempting to sell his invention. Little interest ever came of the odd-looking mobile, and only thirteen vehicles in this model were produced.

The three wheels held up a forty-seven horsepower engine and featured a removable hardtop and custom “hideaway lights”. Auto Shippers admires the ingenuity in this car, but wonders if there if there is such a thing as too unique.
