Personal mobility.

For one point, please respond and identify this car by naming its builder and the year it was made.

It may look that way, but it is engine-driven.

Does the fact that vehicle features a radio in-board might serve a particular purpose that might be a clue to what the car is?*

*: I hope that phrase makes sense...  :)

Your phrase does make sense, but I fear the in-board radio won't bring you much further to the solution.

Furtheron there were two Isidore Lubin living in Manhattan, and three Isadore Lubin living in Brooklyn resp. Bronx.
