George Smolinski Posted June 11, 2017 Share Posted June 11, 2017 Not mine. Thought you guys would get a kick out of this oddball. https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ram/cto/6171053795.html Built by the Showalter Motorette Co. in upstate New York. It is aluminum over a steel chassis and has the original 4.1 Wisconsin engine in place. It needs total restoration but everything is there. These are very rare. I have only seen one other one in all my travels and collecting. Bob Hope owned one and they where considered a personal car or a people mover for gated community's or large warehouses. It is the size of a golf cart and seats two people.The Showalter Airport Originally built them for transportation on their airfield. $ 900.00 or b.o.
