Why would you name a car "Raincoat'? Because it was small enough to drive through your front door, so you don't have to get out and walk in the rain!
DAF founder Hub van Doorne designed this car with just that idea in mind. The 1943 DAF Mobile Raincoat looks like an oversized roller skate, or a clown car. Indeed it was used for that purpose eventually. If you think the narrowness is weird, wait until you hear about all the other features. Being able to park inside the house meant that the Nazis wouldn't see or appropriate your car. But I'd bet that Mom didn't much like the muddy tire tracks on the floor.

I put quotation marks around your words, but they were lost into the ether.
