I have been woefully remiss in posting of late, both CPotD and regular updates. Truth is, I’ve been living out of hotels for the past two months plus! I’ve been travelling for work, and moving my household from northwest Washington to central Oregon. Nick & I have been at the latter location for the past two weeks as he’s started school, and I’ve been attending to all those things that setting up a new household takes… first of all being getting the house itself! As many have heard, securing loans these days is damn near impossible, with banks dragging their feet and tracking every penny, both yours and theirs. Sort of the opposite end of the scale from the freewheeling zero-down, credit for anyone with a heartbeat days of not so long ago. Honestly I prefer it somewhere in between, but more on that later. The good news is, we have the house and the movers arrive tomorrow. Stay tuned for details.
Meanwhile here’s a “Name that car” mystery for you all to ponder while I set up power, TV, Internet service, and start unpacking our goods in a new home. I found it in a museum (obviously) and it stuck me as a real oddball in a lot of ways. What oddities can you note about it? Can you identify it? Discuss in the comments…
Good luck on the rest of your moving details. I think I’ll live in my house until I’m dead… just can’t face the prospect of what you’re going through right now. 🙂
As for the car, it’s some sort of cycle car, from the teens I’d guess. Tandem seating, no windshield, bicycle tires, etc. Couldn’t begin to guess the manufacturer, though. Will take better minds than mine.
Imp
Tandem seating, loooong belt drive, maybe late teens/20s vintage, a type of cycle car, but beyond that…NFC!
Mark has it. The car is a 1913 Imp Cyclecar, built in Auburn Indiana.
The drive belts are scary as hell and the brakes? Holy shee-eyet!
