It says rear wheels, as in more than one: they must be offset like Isetta rear wheels. 30 horses wasn’t bad way back in 1938. I’m surprised there aren’t more people building streamlined live-ins today. I’m writing this in a city where I see hundreds of people living in a “vans down by the river” or more often under the freeway

30 hp isnt so bad… a 1978 volkswagen T2 i own has only 49…and manages to go 120 km/h, ok that goes down to a 110 if 7 seated.

A Dymaxion car from 1960s Yugoslavia?

Looks like a deathtrap. Though with 30hp I can’t see it hitting anything very fast.

A tricycle wheel arrangement? Bet it handled well too–especially loaded.

Wow, a 30hp engine? I wouldn’t want to try going up a hill with 8 people in that thing unless 4 of them got out to push.

It looks pretty comfy though.

It appears to be a version of the Pribil Housecar, designed to carry 8 and sleep 3. Engine was either a 30hp Mathis or a Continental four-cylinder. More information at: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.....ty-stunts/

Cool!
This should be in the ‘Origins’ section too, the first minivan.
