Kim came across this one man tank, made by a Harley Davidson dealer, in the 1950s, using a side valve 1200 cc engine.
The armament was a 105 mm recoilless rifle and a machine gun. The driver was lying in a prone position, and steered the thing by braking the wheels on one side. The top speed was 60 kph (37 mph).
Thank you Kim!

Before flying over the Sahara was commonplace, some people were presistant in crossing by vehicle, here's the strangest way that worked, mobile carpet
All kinds of vehicles have crossed, or tried to cross the Sahara. This 28 Hp Peugeot of Liegeard is equipped with belts, and drove the 450 km of Biskra in Touggourt and back, and 150 km of Tebessa in Gafsa in 1908.
This one above and below seems to be a caterpillar tread endowed tractor

Real unusual things from trailer washers, motorized wheels, to tank track Rolls Royces
Never seen one before, and something about the age of a black and white photo tells me that these are obsolete
I have no idea at all what this is
Ok, but why take it out if you have to add skis?
Odd stuff on this tow truck
Lenin's 1922 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost snow machine. Most expensive snow machine conversion? or strangest use for a Rolls Royce? Might not be the strangest... a bus, a tow truck, and a trash collector are others I've found: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2014/01/new-south-wales-towtruck-made-from.htmlhttp://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2013/04/how-to-teach-rolls-royce-lesson-and.html , and

no idea what the motorbike in front is
Never seen a train engine like this... must be for moving train cars around in a train yard
For packing dirt roads?
Early Daytona Beach racers with superchardged Auburns, before NASCAR took over racing on Daytona Beach

Two of the rare Jeeps the (1959) FC 59, but the below is even more rare

Model T tank
Love the motor wheels... I'd so love to ride one! This one was investigated by Hemmings Blog and you can read more about it: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2010/11/22/m-goventosas-one-wheel-to-obscurity/ it went 93mph... I doubt that anyone did that more than once given the conditions of roads in Italy in 1931 to 1933, that's when the above photo was taken, 1931Friday, June 04, 2010
