Three wheel Jeep prototype spotted at local car show.

[ida34]

I did get two pics from the car show. They are of a prototype three wheel jeep. The tub is wider and can carry three people shoulder to shoulder in the front and three in the back. It had the shifter on the tree. The guy said his was number one. I asked about seeing one in a magazine and he said that was number two. I think he said there are only two or three made in total.

Only 3 were made. Only 2 are runners, and the other one is in parts it's my understanding. The other runner is a 1948 Davis that was used at Aberdeen Proving Grounds for pilot transport, and is owned by a member of the Military Vehicle Collectors of Colorado. Paste the below link into your browser for pix of that rig.

Bet that's worth its weight in gold. But you won't see that at the next Steel Soldiers offroad rally!

Weren't there Jeep based 3 wheelers with the 2 axles up front and one in the rear for tug work on aircraft carriers?
