Frank Mayes Homemade Three-Wheeler: Frank Mayes a farmer-mechanic, of Fayetteville, AR., built this three-wheeler from scrap Ford and Chevrolet parts over a 22 month period as a way to beat the post-war car shortage. The press photo is dated July 8, 1948, and the caption with it tells us that both driving and braking are controlled by the front wheels while the single rear wheel carried the steering duties. At the time in trial runs he had attained a speed of 55 mph with it.

We also have found patent drawings for it and one of our readers has sent in photos of parts of it that have survived all are @ http://theoldmotor.com/?p=45588
