I remember as far back as the late 70's when the MAZDA RX-7 had the rotary engine. It was a big thing back then.

Mazda RX7 and RX8. The company began building rotary-powered cars in 1967, and its rotary-powered sports car, the RX-7, introduced in 1977, proved lighter and faster than many pricier hot rods with more complex, heavy engines. Based on a design by German inventor Felix Wankel, the engine held a pair of spinning triangular rotors, rather than the pumping pistons that have powered most automobiles since their inception.
Chevrolet also experimented with a rotary engine in a Corvette prototype. It was known as the Corvette 4-rotor. You can see a picture by clicking on the link below:
