Victoria S (who’s father built one) sends us the UrbaCar - a small wedge-shaped do-it-yourself car built from a magazine kit in the 1970s as an alternative transportation response to the oil crisis. Back in April 1975, an article appeared in Mechanix Illustrated titled “An About-Town Car You Can Build for $1400.” The car promised motorcycle economy in a sporty, small urban vehicle - and could be built as a kit, or from a set of plans available through the magazine. UrbaCar embodies 1970s styling sensibilities - featuring a "wedge car” design and gull-wing doors.
