Zach Sutton, a mechanical engineer from Detroit, calls his car Bak2Bak. It is built from the front ends of two old Chrysler vehicles, one made in Canada, the other in the United States.
Sutton says he didn’t know the origins of the parts when he bought them, but later found the pairing felt serendipitous. He describes the two countries as close “sister countries” making the hybrid design feel fitting.
The quirky vehicle turns heads on the streets of Detroit. Sutton says the project was never meant to be serious, but fun and accessible, a light-hearted symbol that delivers, as he puts it, “a lot of smiles per gallon.”
