it was J Walter Christy's 1905 Vanderbilt Cup entry.

it was powered by a 20L (1214ci) v4 transverse engine FWD, and incorporates telescoping U-joints to allow for steering. the dual RF tires were needed to take the extremes loads encountered on CCW oval racing.

He started working on the transverse/FWD set up in 1899. so all those modernists who think this a much later invention are once again WRONG.

as some wise guy once said, "there ain't nothing new in the auto industry."

I've been to two county fairs and a hog calling and i've never seen one to those[S

Now that is cool!!

yea, doesnt look half bad!... looks like it was put on with the driver in...? [S

Looks like it has suicide doors that clear the brackets. Don't think there's a windshield in it either. It fits pretty good tho...

Still wouldn't be much room up against the rear tires.

I think he goes in and out the back.

Thought about that too but the camera angle doesn't show it. Maybe a tilt cab?
