1964 Peel Trident


    No, this is not a gumball machine.

    The Peel Trident's successor, the P-50, was introduced in 1962 as the world’s smallest passenger car. The car was only 4 feet long and powered by a 49 cc moped motor. At an advertised 100 miles per gallon, it was "almost cheaper than walking". Personally, I think I would rather walk, and I'd probably get there faster. In 1964 the Peel Trident was introduced, based on the P-50 chassis but with a slightly larger 2-seater body. Entry was gained by lifting the plastic dome roof.
