Blast from the Past: A Propeller Driven Car


The car pictured above is owned by Jean-François Bouzanquet and it dates back to 1922.
This is probably the only running saloon in the world.
The steering wheel of the car operates the rear wheels instead of the front wheels. The car is also claimed to be running in original condition except for a replacement propeller.
In World War 3, some German forces tried to take over the car. But when the attempted to drive it they got confused with the steering system and banged the car in a tree breaking the propeller.
