Today’s #History research #Rabbithole: #CycleCars! Thanks to a helpful and prompt response from one of the curators at the National Motor Museum at #Birdwood in South Australia, I might have a lead on a very odd light car owned by my family company in 1920/21, and the only one of it’s type I can find mentioned or registered. It’s a Bloomfield 8.10 Cycle Car. The Rabbithole is - possible tenuous link to #Hupmobile, who did also make cyclecars in that period. Fascinating!

was *extremely* delighted to ride in this car today, just down a dirt street and back but wow, did it *go*. This is a 1911 #Hupmobile, made by one of the hundreds of car companies in the US that were around in the first half of the 20th century but gone by WW2. Guy who owned it is a peach and very kindly tolerated my dumb questions.
