You unlock this door with the key of imagination. Beyond it is another dimension: a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into... the Twilight Zone.

Andre Siames three wheeled car.
Photo date: 11 de noviembre de 1954
Belongs to Bettmann Collection

"Even though at first glance it doesn't seem so, two can ride in comfort in this tiny three-wheeled auto. It's a homemade buggy, fashioned in his back yard during his soare time by electrician Andre Siames, who hails from Boulogne Sur Seine Near Paris. Powered by a one horsepower motor and capable of reaching speeds up to 50 miles an hour, it was hit of the third Gadget Exhibit at Paris recently"
