It is a bird, it is a plane, it is a … Domino’s pizza delivery vehicle! And it’s up for auction

Do Martians like pizza?

In fact, that’s a wildly presumptive query. But assuming that there are Martians, Domino’s is halfway prepared.

Consider its 1985 Tritan A2 pizza delivery vehicle, built almost 40 years ago on the behest of Domino’s founder Tom Monaghan in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It didn’t fly, nevertheless it definitely looked like some NASA engineers is likely to be enticed to retrofit one.

Only 10 were commissioned by Monaghan, and all were customized with warming ovens within the rear. Now considered one of the few surviving A2s — the oven’s been removed — is being offered on the market at a Las Vegas classic automotive auction on November 10.

The Tritan A2 was designed by engineers James Amick and his son Douglas, with large arch-shaped rear wings and a broad, curved airplane type windshield. The 2-seater could run on gas (a 440cc Syvaro SP-440 rotary engine) or electric (Yes! An EV!) motors.

It rides very low to the bottom, so a pothole may very well be ruinous, and outward visibility is poor, Chuck Sinnott, the automotive’s current owner, told CNN. He says that he has mostly taken it on a trailer to local automotive shows where he might drive a number of short laps around a car parking zone just to point out it off, he said.

The fiberglass three-wheeler is definitely considered a bike for regulatory purposes. Mecum Auctions has not estimated an expected bid price; one sold at auction in 2019 for $44,800. Domino’s didn’t reply to questions on the automotive/motorcycle/spaceship, CNN said.

“This thing turns some heads. It’s a crowd pleaser,”`said Sinnott, “But my wife and I can’t jump in it and go to Monterey.” Sinnott said he bought the automotive in 2021 for about $25,000 from a Domino’s franchise owner. To assist finance the acquisition, he sold one other automotive, a reproduction of the canopy-topped custom Plymouth Volaré wagon seen within the TV show “Fantasy Island.” He wouldn’t say if he plans to purchase something else with the cash he gets from this auction.

One can only further speculate how the A2 would behave on the Latest Jersey Turnpike. (It supposedly can achieve 80 miles per gallon on its tiny engine.)

Domino’s has long since moved onward, and upward, from the A2 as a method of delivering hot pies. In June, Domino’s showed off its “Rocket Man” jetpack delivery system on the Glastonbury Festival within the UK where — who else? — Elton John was appearing. The futuristic food delivery method was made possible after the corporate partnered with Gravity Industries, which designed a totally customized suit that supposedly keeps each the pilot secure and the pizza warm.
