Here are my first two propositions (I doubt if i can find more!)
I'll  let you find the numerous reason why they can't rightly qualify.

Wow - amazing pictures. I'd love to know the stories behind them.

The first one in from the 1930 film 'The Big Trail': lowering the wagons (into Jackson Hole I believe). There is a similar scene in a more modern film I think.
The other was taken in Paris in 1895. A locomotive couldn't stop in time tore a gig hole in the Montparnasse Station's wall, and fell down from the upper level into the street.

Covered wagons or locomotives, going down the wall and not up, bring no point I guess.

All three are driving across a wall, versus up. And one of those pics has been seen here before.

These ones rise no more than 45 degrees too, but up against thin air, which seems a more difficult feat to me.

What about this! Two pictures from the same event. 1928, Washington D.C.
See the big pictures on Shorpy.

Let's say, 1 point for the fist pic (darned near vertical) and 0 points for the second (not nearly vertical).

With that, the points on this one are through. Not as fun as the "light car" thread that inspired it, but, c'est la vie.  ^-^

Everyone's free to add more pics, if the mood strikes them.

This device will climb even trees.  :D

OK, it is not a car, not a bike, but it´s got wheels and an engine and you need a man to operate it, too.
