I came across a worn 'one off' parked at the curb that looked familiar. It turned out to be Dean Ing's 'THING', a one-off special from the '60's built by Dean Ing. Mid engine, Corvair power, featured in several car mags of the day when new. At the time I spotted it in the mid-'70's he was a grad student with limited resources and was using it as a daily driver. Starter was out and he was roll starting it. He had been using it off and on for years as daily transport. Probably one of few show specials that ever were subjected to real use.
