Runabouts were a popular car body style at the beginning of the 20th Century. They were small, inexpensive, open cars. Most runabouts had just a single row of seats, providing seating for two passengers.[1] Many also had a tonneau at the rear to provide optional seating for four or five. In the vintage vehicle era, nearly half of all car models, and the majority of cars produced, were classified as runabouts.
The 1964 GM Runabout was a three wheel concept car first exhibited at Futurama II, part of the 1964 New York World's Fair.
