I wonder if that was a retouched photograph? The evidence sort of makes it a joke. The car might steer on both ends but if that's the case then it can't drive on either end. No top irons on the top either. It could be a careful double exposure done in a dark room. Very interesting though. Advertising has always been a bit of smoke and mirrors.
 
Methinks it only drives, steers one way, one can see the rear brake drum

There is a picture of a similar one, with only one steering wheel, in the book "Tin Lizzie", page 132.
 
back in the 90s there was a 38 Ford Coupe over in NC going both ways setting besides a busness.
 
You can see the front wishbone to the right and rear brake drums to the left.

A few of these types were done in the day.

Not much need for top irons when you have the 2 windshields!!
 
They likely put wood members between the two headers with a bow in the middle to hold it up a bit. They would have put most of the time in while cutting and welding the two bodies together then applying a paint job. If you look at the MTFCA link photo I put into my post #6, a person could see the type of work they did. The two delivery trucks and the wrecker all have a lot of work put into them. That wrecker has a lot of pretty good metal work on it for that era. It sort of looks model A but it has model T characteristics. I'm not sure if it's Ford based or not.
