Overland Octoauto

While you won’t see too many cars with an odd number of wheels in America, this wasn’t always the case. As American cars follow a “bigger is better” dogma, Milton Reeves thought that adding more wheels will make for better performance in 1911. He put eight wheels on a 20-foot long vehicle. Even though eight is an even number, when you take a look at the Overland Octoauto you’re left with no other conclusion than eight wheels on a car is odd. It was gangly and the handling was atrocious.
