Stroh's Pop Top Can Cars - Click above for high-res image gallery
Driving with a beer in hand is just bad form. But driving a beer? Well, that's just cantastic!
Our colleagues at
Hemmings Auto Blogs turned up a keg's worth of photos and information about these Beetle-based beermobiles from the 1980s. A Florida company called Automotive Innovations owned by Ron Wharton created the cars for the Stroh Brewery Company for promotional use, with one leading a daily parade at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tenn.
The builder was granted an exemption from federal safety standards and were limited to building only 300 of the fiberglass-bodied cars a year. Each one was given a new title as a Pop Top Can Car.
Check out our gallery below, then click on over to
Hemmings for many more photos of the cars, including orange-juice, motor oil and Mountain Dew themed models.
