You are unlikely to have seen one of these, it was featured on Wikipedia's front page today described as "One of the crudest automobiles ever produced".
An early 20th century cycle car with no suspension save for the flexibility of its wooden plank chassis and powered by a a small engine on a fifth cycle wheel at the back.
It may look like a toy but it's a real car and is (was?) road legal in the USA!
I cant help sorta liking it
I dunno if a modern build could incorporate a 250cc scooter drive and could be made SVA compliant, now that would be interesting to hang on to!
