1960 Bathtub Car























           This would make you take a second look, and it did back when it was invented as well.



I had seen this video below on Facebook and found the following additional information for an article on MSN News


"In 1960, engineering students at a British technical college got the bright idea to motorize a bathtub. The tub, which was donated by another student, was a 1927 model that they fitted with a scooter engine. Brake systems, suspension, steering, and gear change mechanisms were also added to make the tub legally fit for the road. The makeshift vehicle even featured a rubber ducky horn and a scrub brush rear view mirror. 
After getting it started, the students drove the strange automobile around town, and used it primarily for picking up groceries."
A video of the tub in action is below.
