Just two Plasticar Rogues were made in the mid-1950s; one prototype and one production car. The latter example is in the Lane Motor Museum in Nashville, and here, Jeff Lane tells all about it
@@a1c3c3u I was thinking of it being a competitor to Ferrari's Testarossa Jr. minus the hundred grand asking price. It looks a lot like the Porsche's 550 spyder and from the sides like Ferrari's 125 S from the late 40's and if they made it road legal it would surely have a niche on today's marketplace. One can only dream I guess...
That bis a Bonnet Djet, the world's first production mid-engined car. I wrote the story of the Djet for Hagerty; the article is here: www.hagerty.co.uk/articles/automotive-history/cars-that-time-forgot-matra-djet/
"almost-unique" There is no such thing as "almost- unique", very unique, truly unique, really unique, or any other kind of unique. Something is unique or it is not. Unique is a superlative and a stand alone word and cannot be modified.
I hate anybody butchering the term 'unique' just as much as you do, so my comment/headline was rather tongue in cheek because the Rogue is kinda unique. One prototype was built and one production car. So does that mean the Rogue is unique twice over? This car is one of one in that it was the only production car made, but with a prototype also built, does that mean this car is not unique after all...?
