Surely something so homely came from an Eastern block country - Czechoslovakia?

Judging by the Ozzie & Harriet hairstyles on the ladies, its from the late '40s or early '50s and has a radio that is permanently tuned to American Bandstand!  Not only that, it has a stablemate in the garage and they each park separately in garage stalls that are exactly identical in dimensions to god ol' American twin beds!    ;D

The only car of the era I recall with those puny wheels and tires was a Crossley. So that's my guess. As to a model, I would posit that such a design as this would be filed under "R" for Regretable!     :hah:

1948 Airway, built by T.P. Hall Engeneering, San Diego, Ca. It had an air-cooled, rear-mounted 10 hp engine of the make 'Onan' (sic) and could reach 50 mph.

You amaze me again, as this doesn't come from the internet.
Hall is the creator of another car which you can find on Autopuzzles. Do you know what it is? It will be worth another point.

Otto Puzzell has warned me that this car already had been a puzzle here, solved long ago.
My mistake: I was too self-confident and didn't check. He will merge them in due time.

This won't keep Dynamike from receiving is point. And my second question still holds: its maker built another car, also a solved Autopuzzle. One point to whoever tells us which.
