Dunno if I believe it.

1932 3W Coupe.

What kind of wheel is that??

Re: Reach for the skies
 

Hmmm, not exactly a stable platform......

Re: Reach for the skies
 

Weren’t those called “Jumbos”?…………Mark

Re: Reach for the skies
 

I think they were called general jumbos and were 14 inch wheels if memory serves correctly

Re: Reach for the skies
 

They also came in 15's too.

Re: Reach for the skies
 

Look carefully, the scope is not in any way integral of the car.

Re: Reach for the skies
 

Never seen a 3w with wind wings at the front of the door.

Re: Reach for the skies
 

It looks like the scope is on the ground right in front of the car. You can see the stand through the front windshield.

Re: Reach for the skies
 

That's a first never seen anything like that as well. Kind of like the idea of the wind wing its interesting.

Here's another picture of the same car - besides the unusual wind wings there's also the hood. I also don't recall ever seeing wheels of that style with such narrow spokes. Sure looks like the telescope is mounted on the coupe in this picture.

I see they were ahead of their time, with solar panels for the building. Nice coupe!

Re: Reach for the skies
 

There are a lot more photos of this rig around, Google it. Very cool setup.

Re: Reach for the skies
 

I first saw pictures on the HAMB via a long interesting thread all about this guy:

Re: Reach for the skies
 

The hood sides look sorta like chevrolet of the same vintage, or maybe an aftermarket piece

Re: Reach for the skies
 

That is a great photograph. I also wondered about the hood.
