Sorry Grob, but this is a re-post of one of your previous Puzzles that still has not been solved in BH after more than six years and hasn't been touched for the last five years!

I believe the "contraption" fitted to the vehicle above is a storm apron (a vehicle umbrella to be fitted to open carriages and early automobiles), though I do not know who made this one or what name it was given.
