Think of the gas mileage though. $35 to drive a mile to the grocery store!

I think Terry's on the right track. Looks like an upside down, or should I say right side up Junkers Jumbo 211 or 213 but that's not it.

More clues:
1) I own one.
2) A slightly larger version was the engine in the first generation of a well known American sports car (This one is a dead giveaway)
