Posting this just for the general historical automotive interest.

A complete car for $250 (assuming you follow their recommendations and buy the big 6hp engine for "general highway service"). Even in today's dollars this isn't 
even a decent down payment... or even a decent ATV! Of course "some assembly required".

Corvair interest: These were the types of cars that were outlawed once the Federal government began regulating cars in 1968 following Nader's attacks on the 
industry. This class of inexpensive, lightweight cars remained in production around the world for years afterwards... and are still represented by Japan's Ka class 
of sub-600cc "city cars".
