* The first Geek Squad car? Given that Geek Squad was founded long before VW released the New Beetle, it wasn’t one of those. Rather, as Motoramic wrote this week, it was a 1958 Simca Aronde, followed by a 1960 Ford Falcon, an ice cream truck, and a 1953 Morris Minor.
* Peter Brock participated in more than just the Corvette Sting Ray’s design process while at GM. As we see on Brock Racing Enterprises‘s website, he also designed an Isetta-fighting microcar called the Cadet. Make of that what you will.
* We don’t see nearly enough vans with fins, but that’s probably because we don’t live in Ukraine, where the GAZ M21-based SARB Start was built, as we learned from Truque this week.
* Over at The Old Motor, David Greenlees took a look at the Rumpler Tropfenwagen, an early attempt at introducing streamlining into automobile design.
* Finally, from the world of model cars, the Model Junkyard blog highlighted some of Hakan Guney’s work, which bashes together all sorts of military vehicles (both winged and wheeled) to create some post-apocalyptic gnarliness.
