I can’t stop thinking about the car that “didn’t have a body, it was just an engine with a sheet of metal over it.” What did that look like? Did it at least have seats?

I believe it's the Sizaire. The metal bodywork looks very limited even compared to the other vehicles. Just mudguards, a case over the engine, and a platform.

Fake edit: This is a model of what it would have looked like during the race.



Fake edit 2: Yup. The dollop episode said it was the Sizaire.

I've been going through back episodes of the Dollop lately while I play Cities: Skylines, and I laugh every time Dave says/"sings" "Spinnin' wheel" in the Arthur Bremer episode, long after it stops being funny to anyone else (except probably Dave). Also, the Boston Police Riot episode is named FinnAds.mp3.

yeah. this was back in the day when basically anyone with mechanical talent could start a car manufacturer and it was like that until the mid 20s. so basicaly you would have tons of different cars floating around with different engines and poo poo.

Oops, I forgot the question. Yes, an upholstered car seat was bolted onto the chassis. Though it'd be fair to call it a car bench or a car Chesterfield loveseat.

I found this last episode fascinating. It's some atrocious poo poo, but it's made me very curious about war profiteering and mercenaries throughout history. I'm no historian :dancarlin: but I always thought this stuff was more or less par for the course. Are there any podcasts that go more in depth about this subject in a historical sense?

I know this might be necroposting, but try these two episodes from Tides of History

The Military Revolution, 1350-1650


Life as a Mercenary in the Military Revolution

Sadly, these two podcasts are still pretty academic. They don't go into drunkenness involved in the mercenary life, or the joys of firing pistols into the air while drunk. However, Tides of History did teach me that Gutenburg got screwed. In order to build the first printing press, Gutenburg needed to take out some big loans. Right after Gutenburg finished selling his famous Bibles, Johann Fust sued Gutenburg for outstanding loans. We don't know exactly how the case ended, but a few years later, Gutenburg is not in the city anymore, and Gutenburg's former assistant, Peter Schoeffer, is running the printing press for Johann Fust. So it is assumed that Fust won, and took the first printing press from Gutenburg for not being profitable fast enough.
