Mail cars

For gearing, my guess is two transmissions. First/first would be plenty low. Lots of doodlebugs were built that way.

Speaking of "Doodlebugs," Do we have a thread on those yet?

Around here, it's those stupid, phony "Military Vehicles" that get all tarted up like that.

I am a shine whore, to some extent, but rubber bands on BIG shiny wheels under a 4x4 "SUV" or pickup (we've got rich guys doin' big diesels, too), just kind leaves me cold. Wish we had the "hurling" smilie on this board...

I saw that 34 for sale a few years back, ebay I think. My dad remembered the mailman had an A with tracks to deliver the mail during the blizzard of 49. They had to make it to the first outlying post office to get paid.

After looking at the fun pix page and seeing the "Stiltmobile" I googled that. This page is one of the first that popped up..... Funny, we seem to be one of the best sources of information out there.....

I was fortunate to get to see one of these in real life in Boseman Montana a couple yeas ago.
It was a coupe. The fellas name was Bob, last name I'll not print.
He had it in a collection of around 300 cars and trucks. Some super rare ones too !!!!!!!!!!

Heres something different for ya. If anyone was wanting to do something different, they could always build one of these. Old mail cars and Stiltmobiles.

Could these be the original "DONKS"
