1936 Stout Scarab Navigation
William Bushnell Stout, an aeronautical engineer from Dearborn, Michigan, built nine cars, none of which were ever sold in the retail market. Five are known to survive. Stout also founded America's first scheduled airline, which later became United Airlines. But, it is the Stout Scarab that he is most remembered for.
Built of lightweight aluminum over a tubular steel frame, the Scarab was one of the most aerodynamic cars of its day. Powered by a flathead V8 mounted flywheel-forward atop the rear wheels, the Scarab could go from zero-to-sixty mph in 15 seconds. The list of buyers was a Who's Who - the Firestone family had one, the Wrigleys and the Dows of Dow Chemical each owned one. Despite its nearly 200-inch length and 72-inch height, the Scarab weighed slightly over 3,000 pounds. Today's minivans use a lot of Scarab's pioneering ideas.
