in 1939, a 4 cycle 1.5 hp motor was made to be bolted onto a Schwinn... and the Whizzer was born

During the beginning of World War II, Whizzer faced challenges but ultimately gained government approval to continue engine production by highlighting the Whizzer as essential transportation for defense workers. 

This led to the exclusive "New Model" engine designed solely for defense workers.

and there was a Roy Rogers Whizzer too

the 1950s Cyclemaster, made by several companies (Harding and Rabeneick for example) to compete with the Whizzer, is my guess

so, it seems to be only useful at high speed. That's now when I want an engine to do the work... I want the luxury of NOT pedaling uphill! 

 

was a great look at one, but, the following link has a much faster glance

some of the interesting things coming to auction this August at RM/Sothebys

and if you want a Ford item you'll never see anywhere else, ever, just for a conversation piece, here's Ford Tomato Juice. 

https://rmsothebys.com/en/home/lots/AF21 for the complete listing, and if you want a Cushman or 30s Ford (but no 32 roadsters) you're in luck, there's dozens if each

There's an auction in Atlanta that has some cool interesting stuff, focused mainly on Corvettes, Jeeps, and tractors (thanks Doug!)

interesting, and rare, like this Jeep ambulance body for example

or a couple half tracks that are currently under 1000 dollars, and with a couple for parts, a rebuild seems far more possible to happen

a couple small 1940s John Deere tractors

a 1953 GMC deuce and a 1/2

A 1953 Daimler Ferret Scout w/ Rolls Royce engine, for under 6 thou

a 63 Split window for about 52 thou

a Sun distributor tester for 300

there's a Whizzer

a Korean War era M38

and a 1949 tank - which every pain in the ass will tell you isn't a real tank, but is a "self propelled gun" so- like I said, it's a tank. Canadian, so maybe it's all Whitworth nuts and bolts, or metric. Who knows?  If you're one of the pain in the ass people that is compelled to correct everyone who doesn't give a damn about the specifically technical accurate definitive catagory for old tanks? Zip it. Realize that no one else wants to be corrected UNLESS they ask you what the hell are they looking at. Then you can tell the the right words, and when you see their lack of comprehension, you'll remember I told you so, and you'll probably say "like a tank, but without the bigger cannon turret"

plus a lot of Corvette parts, tractor parts, etc etc.

Wait a sec... this guy actually made a hubless rim for a whizzer!

That's a bit crazy, and a bit cool
