Comet

The 1947 Comet. (My thanks to Kerry Croxton for sending in this picture.)

Comet

Description

The Comet was manufactured by the General Developing Company in New York (USA) in 1947.  It was powered by a 4.5hp air cooled engine that drove the two rear wheels. Rare for its time the body of the comet was made from plastic that was fitted onto a tubular frame. This lightweight structure (114 inches long)  helped give the vehicle a fuel consumption of up to 100.mpg. Production of the vehicle ceased in the same year.
