The wheel has me interested, a couple photos down this gallery is another

Notice the extremely long wagon in the middle
Check out the unusual wheels, the one in the middle with the flat plates has a story, I was reading somewhere that due to a lack of materials the Germans were innovating designs to adapt old wheels for heavier loads













Dual engines
all photos from http://momentdinspiration.blogspot.com/ and there are far more there, these are just the few that caught my attention

The above was a young woman named Della Crewe who decided to drive from Waco Texas to New York with her dog Trouble in 1915. It was 5300 some odd miles.

Also notable for being a Harley with a sidecar, ... but these are different sidecars

the above and below are ambulance sidecars
