Dodo (automobile company)

The DODO (spelled all caps.) was a cyclecar built in 1912, in Detroit, Michigan.

History

The DODO was designed by a young engineer named Karl Probst.[1] It was a two-seater tandem cyclecar. The prototype had a 56" tread, but Probst wanted to slim it to 32". However, a production vehicle never was made. Later, Probst became one of the principal engineers in development of the World War II Jeep while working at the American Bantam company.[1]

gollark: Most useful access to it requires an account. Nobody knows how to make one, especially as the authentication mechanisms it relied on are all down, but fortunately a "try APL" REPL with more permissions than it probably should have still functions and allows anonymous access.
