Question 1: If you ask me, this car that nobody thinks about had a disproportionately large impact on the automotive world.








Question 2: Because of their cost and utter lack of availability, AI doesn’t talk much about pre-WW2 cars, which is too bad. This pre-WW2 car is by far my favourite.

I almost loving put down the Beast, the only reason I didn't is because it was a one-off and not a production car which is how I interpreted the question.

Tatra 77


Tatra 87


Both rear-engined, air-cooled V8s. In fact, I meant to put the Tatra V570 for the first answer, instead an air-cooled flat-4, which is what the Nazis & Porsche arguably were "influcenced by" to design the original Beetle.

I love the 87! The Lane Motor Museum has an extremely nice example among their collection of mostly running vehicles. Highly recommend a visit to them for anyone in Nashville or passing through.

Everyone forgets that for a moment, the Taurus was actually good.

Then, of course, the Accord and Camry got much better.
