No, this is not a gumball machine.
The Peel Trident's successor, the P-50, was introduced in 1962 as the world’s smallest passenger car. The car was only 4 feet long and powered by a 49 cc moped motor. At an advertised 100 miles per gallon, it was "almost cheaper than walking". Personally, I think I would rather walk, and I'd probably get there faster. In 1964 the Peel Trident was introduced, based on the P-50 chassis but with a slightly larger 2-seater body. Entry was gained by lifting the plastic dome roof.
Well, one good thing.... This will never get up enough speed to hydroplane! I've seen bigger tires with better treads on a cheap lawnmower!
