What is this?

Saw this at the car show. What is this?

Steampunk tongue-in-cheek motor art.

its kinda cool. i searched stromberg-garlson and it seems there some parts from old telephones used. What does the rest of the vehicle look like?

[stitchdup]

searched the other company thats plaque is on the ali part in the centre too. might this be steam powered as thats what jensen mfg co produce?

Whether or not it's actually steam-powered, it's definitely Steampunk! I'm not really into art cars, but, small(er) touches of Steampunk could be kind of neat, on the right project.

That's very clever and most likely lifts out of the way to get to the real motor underneath. There is a wingnut visible in a couple of pictures that suggests a lifting panel. Would love to see the rest of the vehicle!

Ha! He beat me to it. My thoughts exactly. 

Far left looks like they used an old oil can for something.

I agree. We'd love to see the rest of the automobile. What automobile was it?

Yes I thought I might throw this out there and see a response. Redscampi is correct. It moves out of the way. Here is a pic of the truck. I got a kick out of it, the motorcycle was in the bed.

That would be an awesome kit to build! Love it!

[Brudda]

Was thinking the same thing

[Danno]

I love it!

This builder gets an A in creativity.

The more you look, the more details you see.  Its great.

Looks like a Rube Goldberg air/steam horn. I really like the bike.
