As I’ve noted before, despite all the cool things people made back in the early 20th century - cool enough to get them into national magazines - it frustrates the heck out of us nowadays to never read any sorts of details. For instance, “a Chicago mechanic” built this unnamed car “from spare auto and motorcycle parts.” At least, that’s the story according to the July 1933 issue of Popular Science, as scanned by the guy at Modern Mechanix. Well, who was he? What did he call his contraption, besides a turtle car? What auto and motorcycle parts did he use?
Please tell me this is still around. I want to copy it bolt-for-bolt.
