News:
A couple of more people have joined the ranks and I'll add them to the list of owners:
Jerry Flewelling Detroit, MI area (pristine PPV in restoration) - http://www.dmsbd.com/ppv.html
Jerry has put me in touch with the inventor and another of the original principals of the company. Look for interviews on this site soon.
Larry Witt Chippewa Falls, WI (3 Fully-restored PPVs in like-new condition)
The PPV is a 3-wheeled 2 seat trike with a full
molded plastic body, built in the 1970's during the first gas
crisis. When I was in high school in Monroe, WI a friend and I
took one for a test drive at a local auto dealership where they were
being sold for $300. I had never seen another one until a few
weeks ago. I've related the story with the pictures below.
I have more detailed pictures here.
I would like to add more information to this site, if you can provide
any more I would gladly publish it here and give you due credit.
I am particularly interested in information about the company (where
they were located, how many vehicles they built, who the builders
were and where they are now, etc.) and images of any sales literature
from the period. Recently there was an original of the print ad for
this vehicle from 1975 on Ebay. I ran off a blurry copy of it
from the ad, but didn't get to bidding on it in time. If you
have this ad, or know who does please contact me. It would be
helpful for the company history page I would like to add to this
site
