Swift Current boy builds a three wheeled roadster that works
Joe Myren, a 37-year-old Swift Current mechanic, crafted a six foot long three wheeled roadster for his son Richard. The washing machine engine drives the vehicle at eight miles per hour with three pedals for forward reverse and brake. Fenders reuse parts from a 1947 car and glass bulb metal, with copper steering and two volt battery lights. Offers up to 200 dollars were refused as he keeps the toy for his boy.
