Is it the Safety Car that jumped down the Niagara Falls ?

SACO · June 07, 2013, 04:41:50 PM

No !

I have no idea who made this vehicle, but it appears to be an amphibious bus or RV (complete with lifeboat/canoe). Its shape suggests that it might have been designed by a producer of dirigible cabins.

SACO · June 08, 2013, 01:42:26 AM

Not an amphibious bus !
But there is already a car of this coachbuilder ( with also a canoe ) in AP

Another strange-looking vehicle, which doesn't seem to be a Carling Home. I found it identified as "French 1928", but Google Image Search brings strange results in this case. Who knows ?

The strange thing is, that it´s most sgnificant feature has not yet been named here, yet:

it was extendable!

I wanted to post it myself some day...

Here are some rare photos of some more models and from the inside:
