Let's Talk Cyclecars

Nani? Got no idea what I may have missed. Gary

 

All those are bad ass! The Streamliner is beyond cool! I remember the American Pickers car from when I use to watch television. It's really cool too.

 

The Austin Streamliner was restored by Dick Greene in Stewart FL. He gave Dale two MARCH motorcycles just before he passed away, great guy who restored a lot of great cars over the years. Bob

 

Frank M's 1937 Morgan Super Sport

 

Ade's nearly completed JAPPIC recreation on display at the "Festival of Slowth".

 

The GN Hardy JAP. via G.C.L....the blower is almost as big as the motor!

 

Probably someone's narrow gauge hobby layout in an expansive backyard.

 

Bill Schindler in the Harley Knucklehead powered Midget "The Catfish". This is the car I sold back in 1974 an hour after I unloaded it a garage full of race car parts. Some cut out the photo and glued it to a piece of wood and made a pinback. Bob

 

It might be now, but it was built for a narrow-gauge short line in England:

1957 : Built as a B.M.W “Isetta” bubble car (no. A10404) in the former London, Brighton & South Coast
Railway workshop building at Brighton.
July 1966 : Acquired by R.P Morris, who duly converted it for rail use at Longfield, Kent
1968 : Operated on the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway, Beds.
1969 : Footage of it operating at Leighton Buzzard featured in the I.T.V programme ‘Magpie’
May 1970 : Operated on the Wychwood Light Railway, near Leamington Spa

It appears to have survived in Wales.

 

That is great. I have great passion for Welsh narrow gauge.

Hello Fred, ​

somehting like this on short films?





Some of shown could be scalled-down models? But, anyway magnificent - cyclecars compared to real, big locomotives and trains!

Ciao,

^ Bucket list ride for me... about 2ft gauge, right? Gary

 

That would be it. I've been building the models for 20 years. I saw the big models in '03 when visiting the UK and had to build one for myself.

 

I went on welsh railway when i was a kid, "Festiniog" i think it was called ??

 

As a model car / train guy, too, I just love these off the wall gizmos. I have a plan for a model eatery on a future layout. It will serve BBQ pork sandwiches and be call the 'Feast-on-hog" Café. har har. Gary

Flowers and cyclecars...Jean-Pascal's Amilcar with the poppies and Marc's Vernon derby with the lavender.

 

Thanks for posting that. It's the only time I've seen Mt Ventoux without bicycles on it.

The American Pickers Special looks suspiciously similar to a car that appeared briefly in a shop scene in the 1954 movie "Drive a Crooked Road," starring Mickey Rooney as a hapless but mechanically talented sporty-car technician.
