27. 1947 Davis D-2 Divan
We were wrong earlier about the Reliant Robin. Not about its many flaws or anything like that, but about the role of three-wheelers in American motoring. As it turns out the Davis Motor company of Van Nuys, California built a three-wheeler back in the 40s in the form of the D-2 Divan. We’ll never know how the D-2 would have fared, however, because its demise was guaranteed early due to the shady practices of the company’s founder and the overly ambitious estimates for both performance and production. When investors got cranky, the whole thing tanked. With only 12 surviving examples, this is also one of the rarest cars on this list.
