I've found some similar called The Brotherhood Line

Interesting. It seems locomotive-cars were quite popular for a while.

The puzzle car has no relationship to that car, other than a similar appearance.

The name of this contraption conjures images of hoochie-coochie girls.

Its purpose was associated with a birthday celebration, of sorts.

About 311,591,917 persons celebrated this birthday last year. Another, far-away group of 62,218,761 did not.

Really? Nobody can make anything of these clues?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** May 09, 2012, 05:27:18 AM »

Another huge clue...

I had guessed a Washington's birthday celebration of course, but I didn't go further.

This birthday is celebrated after the summer solstice, and before the autumnal equinox.

10 days before the French do it?

You are wise indeed.

Independence Day (July 4th) parade ~~car~~ thing?

Wendax · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2012, 10:00:36 AM »

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2012, 11:06:03 AM »

Independence Day (US) is indeed the date in question.

Wendax got there first.

Now, on to identifying that car/truck/train thingy.

I was prepared to post a good, stout clue about the builder's name, but it's not spelled exactly like the clue.

So, drink that in, and see what you come up with.

RayTheRat · « **Reply #21 on:** September 27, 2012, 09:37:36 PM »

Builder's name Stoudt?

Builder's name Stoudt?

No, but you got the general idea. Think of a well-know peddler of 'Stoudt', and then misspell the name

RayTheRat · « **Reply #23 on:** September 28, 2012, 08:01:57 PM »

Ginness?
