Specification :
Manufacturer : Stout
Production : 1935
Engine : rear-engine, Ford flathead V8, three-speed manual, transaxle transmission.
Additional Information : The Scarab was unlike other cars of the era. Virtually all production cars at the time used a separate chassis and body, with a long compartment in the front, housing the engine, longitudinally placed behind the front axle, and a rearward passenger compartment. The front-mounted engine would typically drive the rear axle through a connecting prop-shaft running underneath the floor of the vehicle. This layout worked very well, but had severe limitations where space utilization was concerned.
