????威利斯Jeepster，1946-1950

早些年人們一談起吉普，總覺得這是一種立足實用的車型，多用于農(nóng)林業(yè)用途。威利斯（Willys）公司為打破人們的這種成見，推出了這款敞篷帆布頂?shù)腏eepster吉普。它采用了平頂?shù)膿跄喟?，搭載了一款62匹馬力的發(fā)動機。但它并未配備四驅(qū)，廣告也寥寥無幾。然而二戰(zhàn)后的消費者熱衷追逐時尚，選擇的余地也大，所以這款車自然受到冷落，總共才造了不到20,000臺。

A brave attempt by Willys to broaden the Jeep's utilitarian image beyond agriculture and forestry uses, the Jeepster featured a convertible canvas top, flat-topped fenders, and a 62-horsepower engine. But no four-wheel drive was offered, advertising was sparse, and fashion-seeking post-war shoppers with many more choices looked elsewhere. Fewer than 20,000 Jeepsters were built.

????AMC Pacer 1975-1980

美國汽車公司（AMC，已倒閉）稱這款Pacer轎車是“有史以來第一款寬版小車”，因為這款雙門緊湊型小車的寬度超過了6英尺。《人車志》（Car and Driver）雜志形象地稱它為“飛馳的魚缸”。Pacer轎車使用了很多的玻璃元素，因此它的后排乘客很容易曬傷。盡管這款小車早期的銷量相當不錯，不過由于美國汽車公司的財務吃緊，加上工藝上做出的多處妥協(xié)，導致這樣一個有創(chuàng)意的理念也像該公司早先的Gremlin小轎車一樣早早夭折了。

????AMC billed it as the "first wide small car" because the two-door compact Pacer was more than six feet across. Car and Driver called it "the Flying Fishbowl." The Pacer had so much glass that backseat passengers got sunburned. Despite sparkling early-adopter sales, AMC's financial limitations and multiple engineering compromises doomed this original concept as it did earlier ones like the sawed-off Gremlin.
