History Strange Vehicles a long time ago

I wonder if any still exist today?

 

My heroes!
Great shots. Thanks for sharing.

 

I bet a lot of them ended up in Museums. Very imaginative contraptions.

There's some of these still being built by backyard daredevils.

 

LOL! Some had me humming Yellow Submarine. The one that looks like it is made of leather or vinyl reminds me of those fold-up travel bags with all the pockets, parking would be easy if you could do that to that one. Gary

 

Who knew they had photoshop back then........?

 

Wow, I thought LSD wasn't invented until '58 or so...

 

It looks like licensing was less of hassle back then too!

Thanks for those shots!

 

The uniwheel, monowheel, monocycle or whatever you call it you can see newer versions on you tube.

 

I think those pictures are all from last year's Flyers Roadster Club cookout.

 

1) i was wondering about the camber settings in the top right picture.

2) i think lsd was discovered/invented in ww2, not suprisingly......

 

Going back to first pics...Dads neighbor has a 39 plymouth sedan delivery with tracks and skis.......I'll take apic next time I'm home.

 

These are awesome shots from history when imagination and backyard engineering sprang up everywhere. Too bad a lot of that kind of thinking is gone today. Those were fun times indeed. The first snowmobile possibly?

 

This guy impresses me, look and all. He just has that mad scientist vibe to him.

 

It shows that having lots of imagination isn't a new thing. They sold either kits or plans for that little two seater in the first photo in post 3 in adds in the back of Popular Mechanics up into the 70's at least.

 

Check out the look on the guy's face riding the bike...

 

Gyro Gearloose rides again.
