Marmon-Harrington Rhino, 1954

Who knows this vehicle?

We had this before in a group puzzle, but I think it deserves its own puzzle and hope that some unknown photos of it may unearth when itīs been solved... ;)

This vehicle was in and out of my queue for a while. 

I suspect the name "Aghnides Rhino" might be more accurate than "Marmon-Harrington Rhino".  The October, 1954 Popular Science indicates it took 5 years for Marmon-Harrington to complete construction of the Rhino under the direction of inventor Mr. Elie P. Aghnides.
