Untitled[edit]

IMO, this article should not exist. It completely fails any reasonable test of notability. An automobile of such questionable functionality and engineering that it sold zero, nada, none, (not even one vehicle) ranks it with the efforts of backyard mechanics who cobble together one-off vehicles for the sheer novelty of it. If, in the interest of completeness, one should want to make mention of such a monstrosity, one should do so in proper context: in an article with other like experimental and novelty vehicles that incite laughter from a public enamored with autos in general and finger-pointing and "what's that?" questions from small children.

Buses[edit]

The section about buses made it look like Milton Reeves invented the bus. This is clearly not the case - fare-based carriage services had been available for centuries, the term "bus" started to get used in the early 19th century, and steambuses were operational in the larger European cities in the 1830s. I have modified the section accordingly, though I am not sure if the remainder is sufficiently noteworthy. Elanguescence (talk) 08:30, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
