No, but this was.

They all make more horsepower (most by about ten), the cars have four (The correct amount*) wheels, the bike also has the appropriate amount of wheels, and they were all cheap for their time. If I were a car buyer in 1921, my choices were unstable hunk of ugly sheet metal, or not unstable, not ugly hunk of sheet metal.

Granted all the cars I posted are from the land of horsepower(**), but I could also see about bringing some European models in.

* Exceptions to the rule were ones that could actually turn without fear of falling over.
** 'Murica. The red one is from France though, and it still makes a modest 17 HP.

I see you're learning to make relevant comparisons now.
 
Granted I'd spend more time looking at this thing than an equivalent 4-wheeled counterpart if they stood side by side. Definitely cool from an engineering perspective and being from the early days of automotive experimentation, no wonder it is.

Not incredibly sure if this is supposed be sarcasm, or a reference to the one Civic thread...

But anyway, I just noticed, it looks like it got in a bad wreck, and the front left wheel fell off. Not sure what I'd think if one of these was driving down the road...
 
It's a three-wheeler from the '20s with the third wheel in the wrong place, a funny name, and a bit of an interesting story behind its creation. I don't care how bad it is, that's Cool.
 
I'd say that I want to see someone drive it because it will roll over and that would be funny... But the worst thing isn't the wheel that fell off on the trip to its reveal, it's that it can't roll over because it can't go faster 5MPH without another wheel falling off... Probably.
 
I've seen three wheeled car before but this one is interesting. In the 20's too. I bet it was hard to master back in the day!

Visual is rather okay, I like the concept though...It's kidna bizarre..

Screw it, I'll give it to teh temptation, as @Cano said. But this thign ai'nt nowhere close to sub-zero. This will get a very low cool. Why? Well I sort of like, it's somewhat funny looking too. If you knew how to drive this thing peopel would would think of you as cool.

Or uncool as some people say. Either way, I'm gonna take it like a man!

@All Your Base Even the Morgan Three Wheeler is uncool? Oh damn you mate.
 
I actually think you'd look pretty cool driving one of those today.:lol:

You also have to remember these were the early 20s, when everyone was still experimenting to find the perfect formula for a mass produced car. Its not anything like the Reliant Robin which came out at a time when everyone already knew three-wheelers were rubbish.

Going to give it a low cool.

And how big were those engines as compared to this car/trike/vehicle thingy in question?

Looks like a complete clap trap that someone would just fall out of when trying to get out. Uncool.
 
Going to give this a meh, it's unique, part of automotive history, and if I was a wealthy car collector of Leno-esque proportions (other than my chin) I would probably buy one if it came up, and want to try it out. There is a pretty valid argument though against all three-wheelers though, much as I love a lot of them.
 
It's too old and too rare to be anything less than Cool, if you knew someone who drove one, tell me you wouldn't want to experience that, even as just a passenger.

But barely makes it beyond Cool, so a stable cool, not a solidly high cool.
