The holidays are a time for the best of humanity to show itself, to rise to the surface and do good unto others. This to show it some compassion. This little old friend-shaped car needs a warm garage for the new year, and you’re just the person to give it one. Go rescue this Fuldamobil Type S, and never let it spend a night out in the cold again.

Based on the same architecture as its predecessor Type N “Silver Flea,” the Type S received a much more aerodynamic rounded body shape, turning it from a slab-sided can of ham into a three-wheeled Porsche 356-esque micro machine. This one was built under contract at the NWF factory, where around 1,000 cars per month were cranked out as demand outpaced what Fuldamobil could build in its own factory. The NWF cars, like this one, featured a 200cc ILO-Motorenwerke aircooled single-cylinder engine making around 9.5 horsepower.

This little guy is a smidge rough around the edges, but it appears to have most of its components intact, and could likely be driven with just a bit of tinkering. These cars are so incredibly simple, in that they operate a bit like large scooters. With a bit of elbow grease, I’m almost sure it’ll crank over and start up. You want to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot yourself.

Okay, definitely throw a new cover on that seat before you drive it, though. Or at least a moving blanket or something. Ew.

This Fulda is located in the Czech Republic (just 10 miles from the German border), and of bringing home a new friend. As the temperatures start approaching freezing, you’ll really want to hurry. We can’t let this little guy freeze and starve just sitting out in the Czech countryside. Bring him home. We all love a weird little guy, don’t we folks?

Toyota is attempting to spice up its latest Camry with some edgy, aggressive styling. They once did that with cool models like today’s AllTrac. Let’s see if this rusty but trusty Camry’s price makes it the spice of life. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em, or so they say....

For $4,500, Is This Five-Speed 1999 Isuzu Trooper Super-Duper?
Toyota’s Land Cruiser may get a lot of love, but as today’s Trooper proves, there can be a lot to like in these old Isuzus too. Maybe even their value. In the Jay Leno episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, the former Tonight Show host tells Jerry that comedy...

The 2018 Toyota 4Runner Is Almost The Ultimate SUV
About 50 miles from nowhere and four hours to daybreak, I squinted through the steep windshield into a soup of sand and fumes while our 2018 TRD Off-Road Premium plowed across open desert. We were hunting the horizon for adventure or trouble and rest assured, this truck loves to find...

The 2019 Porsche Panamera Turbo Sport Turismo Is The Dream Wagon That Keeps Up With Supercars
The is a dream car in more ways than you might think. Of course it’s expensive; something many of us can only fantasize about buying. But it’s also the literal stuff of dreams. Something that shouldn’t exist in real life. Something that feels impossible. This is, after all, a 550...
