The Scarab garnered much press coverage at $5,000, equivalent to $80,000 in 2010. A luxurious and ultra-modern Chrysler Imperial Airflow cost just $1,345. Very few would pay this hefty premium for innovation, and total production of the Scarab amounted to no more than nine units. The vehicles were completely hand-built and no two Scarabs were identical.
Hard to believe now a days, that this was an American design.
ReplyDeleteChris - That period produced a lot of interesting things.
