Created by noted car designer George Barris, Manufacturers Hanover Trust's third model of its uniquely designed series of AnyCars is the actual asymmetrical car. The 1975 AnyCar III was as visually dynamic as its two predecessors; it is an amalgamation of parts from some 40 different auto makes and models mated to the body of a 1974 Volkswagen station wagon. No particular components are dominant, nor are two parts similar. In addition, a new dimension has been added to AnyCar III.
"Car for all seasons" is non-pollutant and minimizes fuel crisis and urban traffic congestion problems. It's 2 feet high, 27 inches wide, 30 inches long, and weighs less than 300 lbs. Under its hood is a four-speed, battery-powered, 27-inch-wide "Mini-AnyCar" designed for short-range travel. With the release of the lever and push of a button, it can be automatically lowered from its mother car.
The AnyCar III (1975) contained pieces from the following: Cougar, Mercury, DeVille (Cadillac), Volkswagen, MG, New Yorker (Chrysler), Volvo, Jaguar, Lucas, Chevrolet, Toyota, Continental (Mark IV), Ford, Marcal, Matador, Chrysler
