I had this one as a future puzzle. It's not the same car but the Little Kar has been on Autopuzzles before:
http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=18894.0;nowap The Little Kar Company had an interesting history.
I quote Otto Puzzle:
"Little Kar Company 'produced' the Texmobile car between 1919-21 in a factory in Grand Prairie Texas. They constructed a second building in Havre de Grace Maryland. The man behind the operation was one William S Livezey. The TexMobile was first displayed at the Dallas Fair in October 1919. It was a 4 cylinder car on a 109 inch wheelbase, with wire wheels, and 2 side mounted wheels.
In 1920 charges were made against Livezey, regarding the way stocks were used to finance the operation. In April 1920 Livezey and some assistants were arrested and charged with fraud. Livezey's trial was in Dallas in February 1921. It was discovered that TexMobile 'production' was no more than a handful of cars, in various stages of construction. No two cars bore any similarity to any others, while some components were made by local blacksmiths. One of the brake drums presented at the trial was found to be taken from a Ford. Livezey was found guilty, and sentenced to 5 years imprisonment in the Federal Penintentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas."
