Three-Wheeled Midget Car Built in Spare Time
In his spare time, stretched over eighteen months, a Californian built a three-wheeled midget automobile that has traveled sixty-eight miles an hour. It has a front wheel drive and rear wheel steering, and covers as much as forty to forty-two miles per gallon. There are buttons on the windshield for attaching a top.
That really caught my eye. You wouldn’t happen to have the complete how-to article, would you? A homebuilt micro-car would be a fun project.
Of course, if the article is still under copyright, I understand.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen any plans on how to build this one. Sorry.
Ah well. The photos are still good, and give me some ideas.
If you’re looking for plans there is at least one set in the Popular Mechanics do-it-yourself encyclopedia. I got my set at a garage sale but I see them in used bookstores all the time
Tree wheels is unique but i you have that of this kind of year is so ugly.You know why it because you are going be different car.
