    Advance Auto Body Works of Los Angeles  - ARROWHEAD - Los Angeles, California - (1936) - The Arrowhead was designed by W. Everett Miller and was built by the Advance Auto Body Works of Los Angeles as a promotional car for the Arrowhead Spring Water Company. Just the one vehicle was produced at a cost of $8,000. It carried a V-8 engine that was mounted at the rear, with a standard transmission and torque tube drive. A three-wheeler, the Arrowhead was similar to the Dymaxion built by Buckminster Fuller several years previously. The car drove through the two front wheels and was steered through the single one at the rear. When introduced, it was referred to as the "car of 1960." The car reportedly remains extant. - Advance Auto Body – Los Angeles, CA (1950s)
