Italy was flattened after the Second World War. By virtue of fighting on both sides, it, or more importantly, its industry and economy were losers. In the post war years, Italian transport industry righted itself by making scooters and other inexpensive vehicles since that was all the populace could afford. But what if you needed something larger to transport your goods, but couldn't afford a truck? Find this 1966 Vespa Ape Truck for sale in McMinnville, OR for $7,775 via craigslist.
Back before the rise of video games, young male gearheads spent many hours building plastic models of cars. Monogram had a popular series of hot rod customs by famed designer Tom Daniel. I spent many hours myself building his creations like The Red Baron, Paddy Wagon and Bad Medicine. In a fit of nostalgia a while back, I bought a copy of Bad Medicine off eBay and built it. For this guy a 1/24 scale custom based on a C Cab wasn't enough. Find this 1975 Custom C Cab Three Wheeler for sale in Buckley, WA for $9,500 via craigslist.
I think for most of us, our first experience with wheeled transportation that we could control was the ubiquitous red tricycle. For the truly lucky, it was the Big Wheel (I think Ken Block must have had one of the ones with the handbrake). But, did you know, that three wheeler was actually waiting to kill you? You were lucky you didn't taste death right there. It's a miracle we all managed to survive. Find this 1972 Honda ATC-90 for sale in Tacoma, WA for $750 via craigslist.
