I'm intrigued by what the power source could be - it looks too small to be V8 engined, but a Briggs & Stratton or similar would have trouble getting it up a hill. Is it Crosley powered ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

Is the other car of this builder also a three wheeled microcar?
