from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Diehlmobile was an American automobile brand that was only built in 1961 by the HL Diehl Company in South Willington, Connecticut .

It was a small, simple runabout with three seats without a body or lighting. The three-wheeled vehicle consisted of an unsprung steel frame made of I-steel, to which a nose wheel was attached at the front, which could be steered with a steering column. The bench seat for three people was attached above the rear axle, and a single-cylinder engine with 3 bhp (2.2 kW) power was attached to the left rear wheel. The deluxe version had a roof similar to that of a porch swing . The retail price was US $ 300 for the standard version and US $ 380 for the deluxe version.

The vehicle could be dismantled and z. B. be stowed in the trunk of a car. The manufacturer stated that the rebuilding took five minutes and the top speed was 29 km / h.
