ABSTRACT:
A camera in the shape of an automobile includes a rear face that is substantially identical to a camera and a front shaped like an automobile body. The camera body includes a lens, a viewfinder, a film cannister compartment and a take-up spool compartment. One front wheel rotates relative to the automobile body and serves as a rewind member. In order to position the front wheel at the proper position on the automobile body, a gear mechanism is provided between the rewind wheel and the take-up spool shaft. The automobile body extends beyond the front of the camera body forming an opening in which a carry strap is mounted. The latch actuator for the rear cover is located on the bottom of the camera where it does not interfere with the automobile shape. A rear spoiler extends upward to serve as a finger grip and a push button located at the gas cap serves as a shutter actuator.
