I grew up outside McMinnville, OR, where Ron Courtney built the X-51 so it will always be my favorite custom car.

According to Kustomrama, he later built one or two velomobiles

Quote:
Ron retired in 1994, after 42 years in the auto body repair business. In 2007 he began building a three-wheeled electric vehicle kit called the Velomobile. The build was completed in 2009. From the front it appeared to be shaped like a bullet. It could be human or motor-powered, or a combination of both. It had an electric motor capable of delivering about a 40-mile range. In 2011 he began building another Velomobile, incorporating some different ideas into the design.[1]
