Thanks for sharing these Steve.  The Traffic Car looks like a great build idea.

Kind of a primitive version of the MPC trikes, now that I look at it.

Thanks!  Great to see the Petersen Museum again.  This exhibit reminded me of Alan Girdler's book "The Harley-Davidson & Indian Wars."  (A great read.)

That Traffic Car is neat and a "great build idea."  I'm already wondering about parts sources.  The old 1/16 scale PYRO kit shown below might provide a useable frame, but it's a Harley.  Revell did some 1/8 scale trikes.  TESTORS did a 1/12 scale die-cast Indian Sport Scout.  Or going the other way, down to a smaller scale, Thunder Models does a 1/35 scale Indian 741B military motorcycle from WWII; it has 2 kits in the box, so that's enough wheels to do a trike. Then we'd only have to scratch-build the body and frame...
