So is the Salvador. When I was younger I disliked English design, too many levers that seemed unnecessary. Things were out of proportion, like fenders that were oversized. As I get older the English design is getting better looking. Thanks to Model A Keith, BanjoBob, and others for enlightening me.

This cyclecar reminded me of an over-the-top creation I photographed at the LA Roadsters Fathers Day show in 2005. Certainly not a cyclecar but interesting for its cyclecar-like proportions and outstanding workmanship on an encyclopedia of American hot-rodding and early oval-track racing details and features.



The car's profile isn't one of its best angles. In fact, it looks a bit silly, IMHO.



The workmanship is outstanding, as I said, and the car appears to be a statement the builder was making about his rather substantial skills. I heard that the car was sold into an indoors collection.



I have a few more images if anyone is interested.

There is some cool stuff on this site:
http://www.earlyamericanautomobiles....mobiles11a.htm

Scroll down about a fifth of the page to "Cycle Cars".

Imp, Comet, Falcon, Los Angeles, Dudly Bug, etc.

I wonder how effective those duals really are, because there are so many possibilities that both of them do not make solid contact with the road all the time due to differences in camber (visible in the pic) differences in air pressure, etc. I guess they will develop flat spots real fast.

That looks like it's set up for hill climbs which require all the tread contact one can get, especially in England where because of the intermittent sun shine, most hill climbs are mud climbs .

Don't know if it's on the past 68 pages -- but Morgan is bringing its new 3-wheeler to the states next year with a Harleyesque motor.
