FOR lovers of way cool old cars.....
1930-40s Stout Scarab
The Stout
Scarab is a unique 1930–1940s U.S automobile designed by William
Bushnell Stout and produced in small numbers by Stout Engineering
Laboratories and later by Stout Motor Car Company of Detroit, Michigan.
Scarab garnered much press coverage, at $5,000 (equivalent to $80,000 in 2010), when a luxurious and ultra-modern Chrysler Imperial Airflow cost just $1,345. Very few would pay this hefty premium for innovation, and total production of the Scarab amounted to no more than nine units. The vehicles were completely hand-built and no two Scarabs were identical.
