When all you want is everything
How many readers watch The Simpsons?
It’s been on television for something
like three decades, so I’m sure
everyone at least has some sense of
familiarity towards it. Anyways, in one
episode, Homer discovers he has a long
lost half-brother, Herb. Herb is the
CEO of Powell Motors, an automobile
company that wants to build a car for
the average American, and outsell the
Japanese automakers. Homer, being an
average American, is put in charge of
the project. By the time the episode was
done, Homer had driven Powell Motors
into bankruptcy due to the development
cost of the one-off concept car. Not only
that, the car was a monstrosity, and had
a sticker price that was likely tenfold of
the competition, making it completely
unmarketable. I built a model kit of
“The Homer” when I was a kid. In fact,
I’m looking at it right now on my desk.
I never thought I’d see the day when it
would resemble any real car, but here we
are. This isn’t just any car, though. Oh
wait, yes it is… It’s the Anycar.
Clever name, right? The Hanover
Trust Company created it in 1971 as a car
loan publicity stunt. It was designed to
show the diversity of automobile styling
worldwide, and everything that they
would lend money on. Not unlike The
Homer, the Anycar has something for
everyone, unless of course it’s sleek lines
that you’re after. Advertised under the
brand “ForChevAmChrysVagen”, the
Anycar supposedly featured parts from
twenty-two different cars. Up front,
it’s badged as a Mercedes Mustang SS,
and features corners, peaks, valleys,
flares and circles. The front seating
area is without a roof, like an antique
limousine, while out back, passengers sit
in what’s left of a
Volkswagen Beetle.
It’s kind of like
the Pope-mobile,
if it were built in
a junkyard, by the
bad kid from the
Toy Story movie.

Chrysler 300. That’s six cars I’ve named
out of twenty-two, this thing has a lot
going on.
Finding a color picture of the Anycar
wasn’t easy, but no information ever actually
stated what color(s) it was. Turns
out, it was oranges. You know when you
buy oranges, and they’re all different
colors depending on ripeness? It’s that
color, with a lemon, and a peeled cantaloupe
mixed in. Oh, it’s also white in
a couple spots. Inside, it’s just as busy.
The front interior is your typical luxury
sedan setup, but inside the Volkswagen,
things get wild, as there’s floral print
crushed velvet as far as the eye can see.
It’s like the couch that everyone has in
their basement because it’s too tacky to
keep it upstairs, but in too good of shape
to throw it away. Gene Winfield apparently
built the Anycar. Not only that,
but he also built the second Anycar. He
didn’t build the third, though. That’s
right, there were three. Where they are
now, I have no idea.
