This one is an amateur, experimental model that has been fitted with a transverse rear wheel, controlled from the instrument panel, that may be lowered and raised electrically. It was intended to facilitate parallel parking, an art with which few American drivers appear to be familiar ...whoever heard of trying to park this way, going into a vacant spot NOSE FIRST! Of course the system left no room in the trunk for any baggage!
