Either the driver was sitting far behind the wind-shield or he had a big problem on crossings..

I suspect that's the rear-end, despite what look like headlights there..

Though I don't know for sure, I believe the front is to the right of the picture.

Looking at the wheels, I think you're right.

is it circus-related?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2011, 04:09:36 AM »

No; far from that.

automotive experiments?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:30:47 AM »

Yes - which kind?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #19 on:** March 25, 2011, 05:53:01 AM »

aerodynamics?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2011, 06:02:21 AM »

Yes! The point is yours.

Can you tell me who built it?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #21 on:** March 25, 2011, 06:12:22 AM »

I don't know, but I will try to find it. Built in the late 1930s?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** March 25, 2011, 06:24:27 AM »

I don't know the year, but that's the right approximate era.

Oguerrerob · « **Reply #23 on:** March 27, 2011, 07:25:31 PM »

Just for guessing
Could it be 1951 Fageol F32F Twin Coach Convertible bus, built for evacuation from nuclear attacks (convertible into an ambulance). Bus was built by Twin Coach Company of Kent, Ohio. Before it was complete?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** March 28, 2011, 04:03:29 AM »

A quite detailed guess, but no. Pnegyesi has already established this vehicle's purpose.
