Saw this pic as part of a post on Facebook of interesting/odd items from the 1930s. Actually pretty cool if you ask me.

Supposedly from 1931.

The author is incorrect about some of these never taking off. Clamp on ice skates, 90 degree glasses, bullet-proof glass, and multi-axle vehicles are still around.

Almost built one of these for a family tow rig to pull the trailer. The wife said no, "not enough doors".
