One very unusual limousine, one very small woman, the 1912 Cole 40 limo, and the worlds smallest woman

Just look at the full size version, and the details of how they made a relatively sized full cab for her in place of an ordinary back seat in a 7 passenger touring car, and just below and behind the driver is a set of stairs, and a regular trunk under the footman on the back. Thanks to Navarro Zonta who shared this with Nik of http://carrosantigos.wordpress.com/ who finds all the coolest stuff!

Bottom two images are from a great source of info and factory sales brochure images: http://www.american-automobiles.com/Cole-1919-1925.html

Amazing variety of unusual railcars from Steampunkvehicles tumblr

Why he's riding a big wheel / pennytfarthing on rails is anyone's guess... but I'm guessing he was a SOB to work for

There has to be a reason for the strange design angle of the steam engine, I'm going to guess it was for big uphill angles so the heat exchanger tubes would be level
