1910, and I know I've posted about it years ago, but can't find the info,.... it's a custom coachbuilt body over a Rolls chassis if I recall correctly, funky looking.
1918 policeman in San Diego
this 1929 BMW R11 was available with the Royal sidecar
looking like a tank, built over a Tucker sno cat ... my guess is for "burning man"
and lastly two cars built to look like trains. They were great advertising vehicles, mostly used by movie companies to get an audience for the theaters, but the above is advertising tires and the below is lettered with American Legion, Miami Beach to Boston... maybe to sell war bonds?
Lots of great cars, trucks, trains and bikes at http://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/

Not exactly the same model as the one in the publicity shot below
For a you tube video of some in action in the Antarctic, crossing and getting stuck in the crevass... and how they got out of it, see: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/trans-antarctic-expedition-getting.html

Trans Antarctic Expedition, getting stuck a 1/2 a world away from a tow truck, 1/2 way across a ice crevass. Look impossible to do anything about?

This 1955 Tucker Sno-Cat Type 743 Double Drive is in a bad way, half way across that crevass, and you'd think there is no way to save it from falling in, if any attempt at pulling it out were undertaken. This video shows how it was done... maybe not for this sno-cat, but one in a similar predicament.
