The Amazing 1951 Hoffman
“There’s something to be said about a car company that after 73 years, 100% of its cars are still running today.”
The Hoffman was a German three-wheeled microcar created by Michael Hoffman, a shop foreman from Munich. It features an aluminum body with asymmetrical roof/windshield, rear wheel drive and steering, a pivoting single-cylinder 6.5 hp engine, and many more questionable design flaws.
Only one exists: the only one ever built.
