[Does so]

Why would a car designed in Detroit for American consumers have a right-hand drive?

Because that's where the one door is?

Notice that there's no radiator in front...(just like the 1948 Porsche).

" It was right-hand drive because, for the prototype, Russell used a British MG Chassis. If the project had gone ahead it would have been switched to left-hand drive."
