I've always liked rear-engined cars; perhaps it was that Go-Kart I drove to victory in third grade.
There was the Beetle, Corvair, Fiat had a few..............and of course Porsche.
So where did the rear engine car lose favor first? The America's or Europe?
Ever hear of the Tucker?
How about the Mercedes Benz 170H of the late 1930's?
Was it Ralph Nader, or a general rash of conservatism, which made the rear engine car so rare?
Was it the increasing horsepower trend of the 1960's? A trend that started when Benz, Ford and Olds took their engines out from underneath their seats?
