1932 3W Coupe.

What kind of wheel is that??

 

[fortyonerag]

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

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

 

[earlyride]

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

They also came in 15's too.

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

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

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

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!

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

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

One more picture - with 1933 license plate:

[earlyride]

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

 

[leon bee]

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