These were actually 600cc. They made a "coupe" and a "sedan".
My brother owned several, and still has one on blocks. Many, many
parts saved.  It had a modified 450cc motorcycle "DOHC" engine.
The serpentine belt for the cooling fan is amazing - four pullies - with
two to take the belt 90 degrees out of the plane of the crank pully...


We seated 5 in a coupe once, on a food run, and we weren't all that
uncomfortable.
