No doubt a repost, but never mind if it is, we'll run it again!
So, what is it known as and who built it (not his/her name, just what the person did and where they resided will do)?

Is the builder known for other cars ?

Wendax · « **Reply #16 on:** January 26, 2021, 12:09:32 PM »

We know from a former puzzle that it was built around 1933 by a Chicago engineer.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #17 on:** January 26, 2021, 12:10:26 PM »

Yes, that is correct. Who was he?

No, not really!

I think many have seen this before, but it is all I can contribute.
This photo was published in Popular Science Magazine, July 1933.
It was built by a mechanic in Chicago/USA in 1933.
So you have a name of the builder?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2021, 03:32:12 AM »

Yes, I found another article with another picture and his name.

James V. Martin?
