Armoured cars that never woulda been
Permalink Closed

Centurion's doing a sterling job of compiling a list (and gallery) of armoured cars that might have been - near misses, if you like.


I thought it might be fun to have the far misses, designs that didn't stand a chance.


Culled from the wacky world of the patent office, I give you John Carvalho Lobato's Armoured Car of 1915:



I think he must have had a cockroach fixation...



Vroom vroom!

What on earth (or even off earth) is the gunner firing at? He must be firing blind. Ah ha I have it! (eureka). Given that the driver appears to have no vision slits this must have been an armoured car designed for clairvoyants. I have seen other designs for teleporting crew (no doors) - beam me in Scottie. Mind you the famous architect Corbousier once designed a monastery that had no latrine facilities whatsoever (now what kind of tele were the monks capable of ?).

Ah, that will have been for the little known Crappist Monks, who never passed solids...
