The holidays are a time for the best of humanity to show itself, to rise to the surface and do good unto others. This to show it some compassion. This little old friend-shaped car needs a warm garage for the new year, and you’re just the person to give it one. Go rescue this Fuldamobil Type S, and never let it spend a night out in the cold again.

Based on the same architecture as its predecessor Type N “Silver Flea,” the Type S received a much more aerodynamic rounded body shape, turning it from a slab-sided can of ham into a three-wheeled Porsche 356-esque micro machine. This one was built under contract at the NWF factory, where around 1,000 cars per month were cranked out as demand outpaced what Fuldamobil could build in its own factory. The NWF cars, like this one, featured a 200cc ILO-Motorenwerke aircooled single-cylinder engine making around 9.5 horsepower.

This little guy is a smidge rough around the edges, but it appears to have most of its components intact, and could likely be driven with just a bit of tinkering. These cars are so incredibly simple, in that they operate a bit like large scooters. With a bit of elbow grease, I’m almost sure it’ll crank over and start up. You want to throw caution to the wind and give it a shot yourself.

Okay, definitely throw a new cover on that seat before you drive it, though. Or at least a moving blanket or something. Ew.

This Fulda is located in the Czech Republic (just 10 miles from the German border), and of bringing home a new friend. As the temperatures start approaching freezing, you’ll really want to hurry. We can’t let this little guy freeze and starve just sitting out in the Czech countryside. Bring him home. We all love a weird little guy, don’t we folks?

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...
