The amazing "Swan Car" I know you want one!

The Swan car is built on a 1910 Brooke 25/30 HP chassis outfitted with a sculpted wooden body crafted by makers of fairground rides. The head and body were carved to create the effect of feathers which doubled as a way to conceal the radiator. And, y’know, just to make sure the thing was going to be the pinnacle of class, the swan had glowing eyes, Indian silk upholstery, gold leaf, brushes to keep the wheels clean, and a keyboard in the backseat to operate the Gabriel horn.

But two of its most incredible features? The swan’s beak would actually open and emit steam. It also apparently poops on the ground, because… I don’t know.
