Hackney (automobile)
The Hackney was a marque of microcar which seated one adult or two children, built in the mid-to-later 1950s by the Gordon W. Morton Company of High Point Road in Greensboro, North Carolina. It somewhat resembled the concurrent Eshelman automobile, but differed in its most remarkable engineering features which included what the manufacturer termed its "Floating Power Unit", a self-contained rear-mounted engine/clutch/drivetrain combination in concert with the rear wheels and independent of the body. The FPU was mounted on pivots at front and back.Also, a floorboard-mounted one-stick control operated forward/rear motions and even braking action. The throttle control was mounted on the dashboard; a rope-recoil starter was used.
