The Cooper Car Company is a car manufacturer founded in December 1947 by Charles Cooper and his son John Cooper.
 Together with John's boyhood friend, Eric Brandon, they began by building racing cars in Charles's small garage in Surbiton, Surrey, England, in 1946.
 Through the 1950s and early 1960s they reached motor racing's highest levels as their rear-engined, single-seat cars altered the face of Formula One and the Indianapolis 500, and their dominated rally racing.

Automeccanica was a Greek automobile producing company.
 Founded in 1979, it was one of the companies that produced the "passenger-utility" type of vehicle popular in Greece at the time for tax categorization reasons.
 Its creators were former executives of "Autokinitoviomihania Ellados" (meaning 'Greek Car Industry') a company founded in 1975 to also produce vehicles of this type – it assembled Italian Fissore models based on Fiat products, as well as other Fiat models and variants.
 Automeccanica followed a different path, building the "Zebra" model, a passenger-utility car based on the "Daihatsu Charade", as well as assembling the "Charade" itself.
 In 1985, when the law favoring the "Zebra"-type vehicles changed, Automeccanica stopped its production (after about 2,000 units had been built) and started licence production of the Soviet Lada Niva model, while it developed its own cabrio-version of the car.
 In 1988 it acquired its former "father" company, "Autokinitoviomihania Ellados" and the latter's factory in Thiva.
 Automeccanica went out of the car-construction business in 1995.
The General Motors Stir-Lec I was a concept hybrid electric car based on the Opel Kadett body in 1969.
 The power plant consists of 14 lead-acid batteries in the front of the car which transfer energy to a rear-mounted 3 phase electric induction motor, in turn driving the rear wheels.
 The Stir-Lec I had a top speed of 55 mph .
 While the car is running, the batteries are constantly recharged by a small Stirling engine in the rear.
 The engine was allegedly so quiet it was hard to determine if it was running or not, just by sound.
 Since the Stirling is an external combustion engine, the exhaust has virtually no odor and pollution levels can be made very low.
