Good lord. How do you come up with these ugly things? I had no idea stuff like this ever actually got built. I kinda feel bad calling the poor little guy ugly, but damm man...

I guess this one could kinda grow on you after a while, sorta like a 3-legged puppy with two heads might.

  Damm is right!  Suicide doors and smokin like a two stroke!  Do you have a website dedicated to orphaned cars?

What  a sad "face". Looks like it was just scolded, and it's on the way to stand in a corner.  Why do designers come up with such sad looking cars.  Who wants to buy a pouting car?

Happy looking cars sell better!

This weeks car is a Norwegian 1956 Troll 700. This car was build by Troll Plastik Bilindustri from 1956 - 1958. Body is glass fibre on a Gutbrod chassis with a 700 ccm 22 hp engine. The car hadn't a good start into production because they were allowed to build only 15 cars. The reason  wasn't the design of the car as you think.No it was a barter treaty Norway had with the USSR and Eastern Europe to buy cars from them as they bought fish products from Norway.  After 5 cars they went bankrupt and a Norwegian car was history.

Thanks Michael. I'm glad to find out what this is, I have seen it before but could't remember what it was!
