Only about 300 were built of the Inter autoscooter three wheeler (France, 1953). Nice rag top :) Like the Messerschmidt it was built by an airplane manufacturer.

I am really diggin' this single headlight styling, with the fendertop lights. It fits perfectly with the whole Elio design concept and ideology. I wonder if it was ever considered during the design phase?

1-Costs less than 2 headlights, uses off the shelf parts
2-Elio is single seat wide, narrow, and does not require 2 headlights
3-Fender tops get lit up to warn motorists of Elio width (no fender lights are a current safety flaw IMHO)
4-Look at the horn right out there in front! A design statement
5-Nods to the motorcycle roots of the Elio

How about it Ari...any interest in modeling a 1-eyed Elio?

Hey that single headlight works on both the Mercedes Benz LifeJet and the Toyota i-Road. It would be fun to see a graphic single headlamp Elio.
