Daf 'Mobile Raincoat' Concept - ca. 1943
Hub van Doorne was convinced
that one day everybody would like to own a car. This led to the construction of a prototype of a cheap car that would provide shelter against the elements, hence its nickname : "Mobile Raincoat'. As it was only 80 cm wide, it would pass through most front doors.
The car had a hydraulic converter, developed by Daf. This prototype was not further developed. The folding roof acted as an emergency exit in case the car turned over and ended up on its single door.
