1950
The Gheorghe Gal car, built in the 1950s by Gheorghe Gal from Bucharest, is a remarkable homemade creation that highlights ingenuity and resourcefulness in a time of limited automotive options. This compact vehicle is powered by a 250 cc, 12 HP Jawa engine, delivering a modest fuel consumption of 4.3 liters per 100 km and a top speed of 75 km/h.
Designed as a two-seater, the car features front-wheel steering and a gear shifter mounted on the steering wheel, offering a unique driving experience. Its braking system operates on all three wheels, ensuring safety and control. With a wheel gauge of 1.35 meters and a length of 2.60 meters, the Gheorghe Gal car is small yet practical, showcasing an efficient and clever use of materials.
This homemade vehicle stands as a testament to Gal’s craftsmanship and passion for automotive design, reflecting the spirit of innovation during the post-war era in Romania.
