A Hybrid Car from the Times of Yore
We today talk of a Toyota Prius or a Chevrolet Volt that does minimal harm to the environment but even decades ago people had their ways to compose a hybrid variant. At that point in time it was dubbed the Helix Car and was powered by a propeller to turn the wheels. For the translation woes we do have a certain amount of confusion but even then we are pretty much sure that it was the first hybrid variant of sorts. The only remaining example of this rare car is now owned by a Frenchman, Jean Francois Bouzanquet. This rare survivor was bought by his grandfather almost nine decades ago. It was powered by a Twin-cylinder 1203 cc British Engine. Do not ask me more, for the translation woes restrict me but yes, do remember this car as one of the most ancient hybrid versions of all time. More Images after the Jump.
