At Mercury, engineer Bob Rumm produced this one-off 1965 Mercury Park Lane convertible with so-called "wrist-twist" steering controls. The standard steering wheel has been replaced by two 5-inch, wrist-operated dials, that the promo claims frees up knee room, improves visibility and makes parking easier.
Skip the first 45 seconds and the male chauvenist attitude, they are both useless

An older semi in Brazil, and I like the grill, full length and looking like a 1940's car design
Cool.
Looks like the back wheels also steer
Looks like water cannons on top, and armor covering the back
This and the last photo in this gallery are both 4 wheels under the cab.
It seems similar to an F.A.R.
http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/three-wheeled-tractor-trailer-rig.html but definitly not similar to the Scammell or the Tempo, so it seems there might have been another 3 wheel delivery that I haven't learned about yet.
Mighty powerful little trailer mover
Yuck, very ugly, but does it have this design because that allows it to go under the trailers for reversing the trailer into a loading dock?
Best advertising on a trailer rig I've seen in a while

not much info on the www yet, but I did find that the guy is a millionaire real estate developer, and owns the biggest of the Blastolene cars (can't recall the name, it's the one with the PT boat Packard engine) and this titan engine is going into a Peterbuilt 359

Never seen one before, and something about the age of a black and white photo tells me that these are obsolete
I have no idea at all what this is
Ok, but why take it out if you have to add skis?
Really early car phone
Odd stuff on this tow truck
Yup... 1890's and I have no idea what it is
Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost
I've never seen a photo of a tractor involved in a car crash
Again, no idea what the motorbike in front is
Never seen a train engine like this... must be for moving train cars around in a train yard
For packing dirt roads?
Early Daytona Beach racers with superchardged Auburns, before NASCAR took over racing on Daytona Beach

Love the motor wheels... I'd so love to ride one! This one was investigated by Hemmings Blog and you can read more about it:
http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/11/22/m-goventosas-one-wheel-to-obscurity/ it went 93mph... I doubt that anyone did that more than once given the conditions of roads in Italy in 1931 to 1933, that's when the above photo was taken, 1931
Puegeot in 1934, great designed car, looks like the top is coming down
Wipers on the inside and outside
