Now, THAT's an high-wheeler.

Doesn't look as if it was a success, but it might have been a Success.

Paul Jaray · October 28, 2010, 04:46:41 PM

Not a Success...

Nor was my research.
We used to get a lot of c1910 highwheelers that looked so oldfashioned that the owners couldn't believe they were 20th century - and there were several dozen to choose from, so I haven't really time to work through the list.
When in doubt, guess Holsman

I'll help you to cut your list drastically...it is from USA but not from 1910s or before.

Built after 1919? Even at that time this definitly was very retro

Paul Jaray · October 30, 2010, 07:16:35 AM

After 1919 is correct.

Paul Jaray · November 25, 2010, 03:08:30 PM

1921 is precise.
This car was based on a VERY popular car...

Model T Ford, perhaps?

Esatto!

Paul Jaray · January 02, 2011, 08:21:57 AM

The 1st part of his name is the same of the 1st part of a very famous warrior race...but not in this earth....

Otto Puzzell · January 02, 2011, 08:28:26 AM

Hmmm...

Paul Jaray · January 02, 2011, 08:30:28 AM

Klingxxxx.
The 2nd part is the same as the 1st part of a famour pilot's surname.
(Not Klingschu or Klingvill

)
BTW, this car is featured in some books....

It could be Doctor Klingberg's home-built car, but the famous pilot's name would be misspelled

Paul Jaray · January 02, 2011, 08:45:07 AM

Dr. W.A. Klingberg's car, built from a Model T chassis in 1921 in Elmo, Kansas.
(wasn't Gerhard Berger famous enough?)
