Hard to tell from this, but here ya are.. It was labeled as a 'tilting' three wheeler. Possibly a Canadian City Car?

I'm guessing the Tirad is from the early 70's. Again it's the mirrors, as much as the 'English' styling. (the color)

I do not know this one. Very obscure, like finding an image of big-foot! But it reminds me of the GL88 Egg, except for switching where the one wheel is. At least they worked out a wiper for the Egg.

(edited: Found a ref image labeled voorloper-van for the top image)

Here are two very famous three wheel prototype cars, at least among three wheeler enthusiasts. Geriatric memory precludes me posting the names. It's a form of CRS (can't remember shit). Fill in if you can.

(Edited: Found a ref to the top one as the Phantom Wing, hope that's right)
(Bottom: GM Runabout )

We may as well hit the DIY arena in the 70's and 80's with the Tri-Magnum. One of the few kits that people actually built.

You can not search very long with out running across this one... in my files it's named something like the Trianeii .. obviously I have no idea.
It's never the band I pay attention to, it's the song..

Too bad the Gizmo is extinct..

I know nobody has this one.... (I count that rear wheel as a single!) Saved a golf-bag frame and old toy at the same time! Whala, Tilt Steering! (steering wheel also linked in)
I made it for my grandkid about ten years ago now.. getting late for me, good night for now!

By the way, I'll post no, well not much, morphed images here. That was covered in this thread..

Let's try a prototype, this is the Subaru X100, a 100mpg+ record setter.
SOME IDEAS KEEP COMING BACK EVERY FEW YEARS .

THEY WERE THE FIRST COMPANY TO OFFER FUEL INJECTION IN A PRODUCTION CAR
