  1. I like that three-wheeled vehicle, parked in front of the future Chinese restaurant.

  2. A super image. Is it another A. C. Sociable car?

    1. Not an A. C. Sociable. I have no idea what it is. Looks terrifying though...

  3. Tonight, I found a similar "car" on Wikipedia here: http://tinyurl.com/8moq2l6

    A French company called Aster supplied motors for several bicycle companies making motored cycles with a "forecar" in front for the passenger. Terrifying indeed.
