    Kind of reminds me of the legless guy from “Freaks”

    My name is David Barclay. I have a picture of the Morgan pictured above with my dad at the wheel. Do you have any information about the owner of this car? My phone number is 210-240-1362.

    David, that model Morgan was manufactured from 1932 to 1939. There are currently some 140 Morgan three wheelers registered in the US and Canada you might be able to find more info here:
