1 point for the identification of this machine, its builder and date:

Google Search by Image continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Search by Image as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

We ask all members to remember and respect this, and retain the right to ask puzzle-solvers how they came to their answer.

Have fun!

This trike was built by Frank Mayes from Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1948.

That's right.
It was FWD and rear-wheel steer.
Apparently Frank took out a patent on the design in 1948, although I can't for the life of me think why anyone else would want to copy it... Sounds lethal to me!

Found it again. And, according to this caption it is not rear-steer.
