So yeah, got bored and decided to make this (not my model, I only made it mid engined). It's not
exactly period correct, because the body only comes into play in 1955, but meh, we're not going for realism here. You could probably fit a 2.Something litre engine depending on what suspension you use and whether you use transverse or longitudinal etc.
Simply unpack into C:\ProgramData\Automation\assets\meshes\cars\Mid\small

I seem to be stuck with a 0 tameness, no matter what engine/transmission combo I put into the car :-S Maybe a mid engine car is too 'new fangled' for the people of 1955

If I bumped the year up to 1960 I am able to get a whopping 10 tameness

Ultra-short MR car with low-tech suspension and crappy tires does that for you.

Yeah even the vanilla cars of 1940 should only get a Max like 5 tameness or so.

Can someone upload a pic? I know you weren't going for realism but we didn't have mid engined production cars until 1965.

It's an MR "hack" of the small sedan.
Exact same model, but with the engine in the back.

This ^
If you wanted to create a Beetle replica (although they have an RR layout and they're 2 door
) now you kinda can!

You can make a pretty quick 'not-beetle' type set up with this! When/if rear engine is ever an option we can worry about being 100% 'authentic'. Until then, I am pretty content with this.

Thanks for the mod. Though I had hoped for a minute you had made something like this:

Haha, sorry if I misled you
This is just a vanilla body. I'll upload a photo so this doesn't happen again in a minute, I had to reinstall photoshop again.
Edit: Photos now in the OP.

Nice work!
I've experimented with mid/rear engine chassis' on front engined body designs as well in the past. But to my mind the chassis setup doesn't work yet on a normal family car because of the setup wich cuases the engine to end up where the back seat would be. I hope the devellopers create a real Rear engine chassis in the future.
