Qxir investigates one of the most bizarre and fascinating automobile companies the world has ever seen.
"The Twentieth Century Motor Car Corporation was an automobile company started by con-artist Geraldine Elizabeth Carmichael, in 1974. The company's flagship vehicle was the Dale, a prototype three-wheeled two-seater sports car designed and built by Dale Clifft. It was touted as being powered by an 850 cc air-cooled engine and featuring 70 mpg‑US (3.4 L/100 km; 84 mpg‑imp) fuel economy and a $2,000 (in 1974 US dollars) price, which were popular specifications during the mid 1970s U.S. fuel crisis.
Carmichael claimed to be the widow of a NASA structural engineer, a farm girl from Indiana and mother of five. In reality, she had been wanted by the police since 1961 for alleged involvement in a counterfeiting operation. She had since changed her name, as she was a trans woman. The company would ultimately prove to be fraudulent when Carmichael went into hiding with investors' money."
