Hello Mike
I also would suggest that you type Lightburn Zeta into your search engine
and see what you get. If you ever wanted to know what sort of car a washing
machine manufacturer would make the Zeta was it. Somewhat in comparison when
a refrigerator manufacturer produces a car and you get the Isetta. A car
that was then sold to BMW and virtually saved them from financial ruin
during the early 1950s.
If you want to read more about the Healey Duncan have a look at

I've never heard of, much less seen a Duncan saloon or a Lightburn Zeta.
What do they look like?? Mad Mike

G'day
Why is the list so US centric? Apart from the Yugo each car was made in the
US.
Okay I admit that the US has made its fair share of ugly cars, but can't the
publishers look beyond their own shores?
By the way, although I am a Healey and Austin-Healey owner I cannot call the
Healey Duncan Drone an attractive car and it's borderline with the
Sportsmobile. Plus I think my own Duncan saloon is an acquired taste.
Clearly the publishers have never seen a Lightburn Zeta.

Mostly I agree, but not with the Corvair or the Edsel.
The Corvair and I have history. It was 1972. Her name was ... well never
mind.
The Edsel is a work of art.
