You can't get any better than a train and an automobile all in one!
This is sketched from another inspirational photo by @mozarts_ride. Here is what he says about it on Instagram:
This is the 1915 Casey Jones Rail Auto. The rail auto was used as an ambulance and a rail bus to transport miners from the mine into Silverton. It was restored in 1918, using a Cadillac Series 51 auto chassis, engine, transmission, driveshaft, and differential. The white bus enclosure, rebuilt in 1929, holds up to 12 people. (Now you know the rest of the story.) “Casey Jones you better watch your speed: Trouble ahead, trouble behind; And you know that notion just crossed your mind….”
