Banana car, Tomato car

I was asked what those words mean.

I could make a guess what "banana car" means.

I guess that it means a yellow sport car that looks like banana.

But I don't have any idea with "Tomato car."

I can't even make a guess.

Can anyone tell me what "banana car" and "tomato car" mean?

Hi Nice, It was an interesting question, so I googled it. I found some links about banana car with photos, it really looked like abanana, and I came across this post in a forum: Did you know that that Modena up in the first post had its aerodynamics actually designed by their F1 engineers? It has one of the lowest drag coefficients to date, only surpassed by a handful of cars, including the "banana car" which I believe was created in the 80's by either GM or Chrysler which was tied for first.

  • And you guessed it, it was shaped like a banana.
  • And about a tomato car, the only information that I gathered was about a ventilated car for carrying ripe tomatos!

To really know what "banana car" or "tomato car" refers to I would to see the context; however, my initial guess would be that they do indeed refer to car colors (banana yellow or tomato red?).
