ok, so this past week we had a local parade. I'd gone to my LBS and asked if they needed riders. The day of, I showed up and was presented with this unique ride.
The shop owner said it was a 60ish year old production bike. It had a steering wheel, front piston like shocks, nice sprung seat, flat feet stance, rear coaster brake, and a front drum brake. Im sorry but the photo I got currently is really bad but gives an idea on its layout.

It only took be about 40mins to get used to the steering wheel and could ride it well. Now im addicted to it's uniqueness and what to build a modern version.
