Seems to me, if you turned the steering wheel, the vehicle would derail!

The marker light on the rear fender is interesting. I have a few of those. The bullet lenses are made of glass with green to the front and red to the rear. This track car is somewhere in Europe judging by the RH steering. Also, the car appears to be towing a trailer. Thanks for posting this picture. The car is a 165-D 1931 Briggs Standard Fordor.

Now there is the answer to driving cross country and not having to deal with modern cars in the high speed traffic you can travel the rails and operate at your own speed just keep an eye out for a high speed freight train!!!

Bob, methinks you need new glasses, Or is it me? Looks like LH steering to me and I don't see any evidence of a trailer.
