I initially kept this picture because of the cola signage but then later I thought the 3 people smoking was a kick and later saw the Phillip Morris stuff. Certainly a bygone era.

Looks like a 1963 Barry Toycraft Corvette frame minus the body, The Toycraft frame had a single ridged center tube and that type of foot controls.

 

Built in the early 1930s by Minnesota teenager Bob Shotwell, this rear-engined tricycle coupe is powered by an inline four from a 1931 Indian motorcycle, with bodywork hand hammered from sheet steel at his dad’s radiator shop. Bob and his brother Edward made local headlines with a 6,000 mile grand tour, the car eventually racking up some 150,000 miles before its retirement. Fearing little Philbert would be plundered by bike restorers for its mill, Shotwell offered the car to Jay Leno, who restored it to a semblance of its former glory, minus the twin sidemounts and punk graffiti on the fender valence.

 

Wow, how did I miss that? I guess it's just old age. First the hearing . . . now the eyesight.
