Wow, 3 rear-engined flat-motors out of ten! I voted for the Car of the (20th) Century: the mighty VW Beetle. An article in the current VW Trends magazine lists 12 different styles for the VW: German Look Euro Look Vintage and Old Speed Baja and Off Road Custom Look Mullholland Look Kit Cars Resto-Custom Hawaiian Look Commercial Look California Look Some are indistinguishable to the public at large: Euro/German and Vintage/Old Speed/Resto-Custom. Some are way esoteric: Mulholland/Hawaiian/Commercial. But California Look is canonical. Small (145) front tires on a narrowed front axle, lowered well up into the front wheel arches, and (big) twin Weber 48 IDA carbs and your there. It looks like 12 to 10 second quartermiles just standing still.
