Old Style Trike

I found this three wheeler and just noticed where the jug or head is positioned. Look for the spark plug and wire to find it. That had to be pretty warm back in the day! Looks like there was no shield between the rider and it. Certainly wouldn't want to stop fast and slide forward! :yikes:

Museum?

Probably. Found it on Facebook where someone had posted it. Didn't notice the head until I got to looking at it!

Don't think you would have to worry about stopping too fast unless you hit something since there are no front brakes. I don't see the exhaust header pipe and I wonder where the carb is mounted. Looks like the gas tank is on the top of the front with a black hose running down the left side. Would be nice to see some side pictures.

Interesting..!!

must have been for tall folks, though not many at that time, cause that headlight sets pretty high on the hood...:roflblack:

According to this thread, post #4, http://www.practicalmachinist.com/v...-cyclecar-jb-rocket-henry-ford-museum-259557/ it's at the Forney Museum of Transportation in Denver. Here's a close up of the info sheet. This photo was unabashedly copied (stolen?) from the linked thread.

Do a Google search on Ner-a-car and you'll find quite a bit of info on the two wheel version. This three wheel version may have been a prototype is my speculation.

That is way beyond cool! So far ahead of their time!
