Yup, freak. BTW, here's another way to post the photo.

1. Copy the URL of the image
2. Click 'Go Advanced' on fordbarn
3. Click 'Insert Image' toolbar icon (above edit field)
4. Paste the URL into the field
5. Click OK

Here's how it looks:

Do they enter it from the window or through the top?

Tom Wesenberg · 06-11-2015, 01:31 PM

I think that's an antique Honda "shoe".

A LOT of people make fun of Henry & Edsel Ford's early Proto-type of the Model A. Some say, "Say it ain't so, Joe". But having researched diligently and thoroughly, in 1963, while going through the Ford Motor Company archives, I did find both photographs and all of the Engineering schematics, drawing and Blue Prints of this rare and unique Model A proto-type. Like many cars of the 1920's (including most of the Ford Model T's), the driver entered from the passenger side of the car.
As some of you know, it never reached very large numbers in actual production - three, I think, of which the one listed in Hemmings, is probably the only survivor.
Although Edsel did like the wheels (as pictured on the Hemmings Post), his Father Henry did not, and the other two cars came with the more familiar 30" wheel (now known as a 21" wheel).

This looks like a Bantam on steroids!

I'm so sorry I looked at that

WELL, I LIKE IT!! Only needs wheelie bars. Reminds me of my Old Bantam Dragster, "THE HANGOVER"! EVERYONE should build something KRAZY in their lifetime!! Imagine it, with the body perfected & painted BLACK!

Sure couldn't hurt.
Those louvers cut into the front fenders should be good for letting the mud come through.
