There's a lot to unpack in this photo. It appears to be a towable scooter getting attached to a Ford, but the rear suspensiopn on the scooter has me fascinated. Does it look to anyone else like it's designed so the rear wheels fold up to narrow the parked scooter?
they do seem to have that adaption for a good reason. Towing makes sense, as that rear drive wheel is likely better off not being on the ground when towed, and the outriggers are simply free wheeling
1937 or 1938 Salsbury Motor Glide de Luxe scooter.

ReplyDelete...Or, it just occured to me, the rear wheels fold down for towing and fold up for the ride back to the shop after auto delivery.
