The auto industry has cranked out many motoring mashups over the years. Some, like the road-going mullet that was the Chevrolet El Camino, have been nothing short of legendary. Others, like the flying cars we’re still waiting for, haven’t quite worked out.

Somewhere in between are three-wheelers, an odd combo of car and motorcycle. From the very first automobile to the latest leading-edge EV, there has been no shortage of visionaries and eccentrics who felt a fourth wheel was superfluous.

British automaker Morgan Motor Co. is the latest to say, “Four wheels? Pfft.” It recently unveiled the 3-Wheeler, a dead ringer for the Threewheeler it built from 1909 until 1952. That got us thinking about three-wheelers through time.
