Oh my that Kaiser Stromlinien is just so cool. Thank you Zoran
And those lovely scans from the velocar book they are sooooooo clear and beautiful they almost bring a tear to my eye from sheer joy.......
Found an old favourite in my archives. Unfortunately despite much searching I haven't been able to find out any more information about this little car.
Annie,
Similar fabric-covered body of light car - velocar
.This one is 1929 Zaschka... Could be dismantled in a few components - but, I am not sure for what practical purpose! Too much complication for too less benefits.

Because most people didn't have access to garaging there were many ideas for folding cars and sidecar outfits to enable them to be taken inside a house through a normal doorway and parked in the hall.Annie,Similar fabric-covered body of light car - velocar

Here's a nice photo of an unidentified cyclecar getting its official picture taken.
And what about this one?

It's a 1920 'Cambro' cyclecar. They were powered by war surplus engines that were used to pump water out of the trenches. I think they're sort of cute

Hello there,
Annie and Ludwig - you found excellent cycle-cars on excellent web-site.
There is something strange about those original black/white photographs of cycle-cars: reason for use of that white blankets that workers kept behind cars! That could be seen on many photos of various models of various companies. Can understand that from photo fashion or technique or esthetic, but then - why they didn't cut workers and surrounding around those blankets? Like as I did on attached photo? (excellent cycle-car for velocar!)...
Then, why somebody collected all those photos from past, that were published in period magazines, and put own copyright water-sign on them? For sure that this "stilltmecollection.co.uk" are not authors of all photos they put on Photo-bucket? That is just general question for many of such authorized "collections"...
Ciao,
Zoran
P.S.: Curt, couldn't opened your web-address, but I saw that ta another thread where you posted it! Maybe in this form it would opened easily:
