Imagine our shock when this wacky piece showed up at one of our
summertime Cruise-Ins this year. Wacky, in the sense that it was wacky
to watch the opening sequence of The Jetsons, and George's saucercar
loudly folded itself into a briefcase while he put his feet up on his
desk at Spacely Sprockets.
This was nearly as good. It's the Centaur, a
scooter whose huge rear fender became its own carrying case. We're not
sure how many were built, but the Centaur was produced from about 1960
to 1965 and conceptualized by James Wilford Foster, a scooter nut and
former Lambretta distributor. Production took place at different times
in Youngstown, Ohio, and Ashland, Massachusetts. Price new was less
than $400.
