Let's Talk Cyclecars

The car is lightweight, the driver . . . not so much!!
Special Marcel Violet Le Zebre(?)

 

This is interesting:

Thanks. The Mabley is an interesting car. I think they call it a "diamond" wheel arrangement. I've seen another made like that.

From the sublime to the, frankly, ridiculous.

Bob, my all time favorite side engine car has to be the Schasche

 

The starting line at the Grand Prix de L'ACF des Cyclecars, Amiens, France, 1913. In car number 25 is J Ronteix, in car number 26 is Jolibois, and in car number 27 Francis. Ronteix finished third, Jolibois seventh, Francis did not finish.

 

1914 Cycleplane:
The two-passenger Traveler model was powered by a ten h.p. V-twin engine, final drive to the rear wheels was by V-belts.

 

1914 Morgan

 

Pretty Duval-Amilcar coupé

 

Imagine this car with these headlamps!

 

There is nothing cooler than a pair of Marchals. Just my opinion.

 

A pair of 1922 1100cc Sascha(s), designed and built by a certain Ferdinand Porsche at Austro-Daimler.

 

I love little coupés! But I'm less keen on the newborn-Brewster front end.

I'd certainly drive this:

 

@timberwolf01 have you looked at the Specials thread?

 

I have now Ned! Thanks!

 

I think someone has built a replica of that Morgan.

 

1914/15 Cornelian

 

Not sure if it is the actual car or a nice replica, but there is one in Bill Smiths Museum of Speed in Lincoln, Nebraska.

 

"No production Cornelian automobiles are known to exist. This race car creation with many original parts was completed by Allen Rohrstaf in Michigan after exhaustive research of photographs and archives."

An Indian and a Velie

 

I have always loved the cutaway drawings. Road and Track had one in almost every issue. Whole cutaway engines are great too.

 

Converted belly tank?

 

No,,it is a Curry Landskiff!!

 

Fantastic! Thank you j hansen! Slightly unsure about trying to steer rear wheels while 'rowing' though . . .

 

Just found these on the Curry Landskiff from 1926 and 1927
