Another question, on the military photo of the tracked model T, I know that the only way to steer this is with differential braking, anyone know how they accomplished this? I am thinking rocky mountains or similar. They would have to have been good brakes!

When they developed the tank they had two different drivetrains for each track so I wonder if they did something similar.

#6 is a very interesting picture to me. It looks to be a NRS chassis with 09/10 fenders. They are not S fenders because the fronts have a Bill and rear S are curved like a 10/11 torpedo. It has a NRS hood and then the body looks to have T style MIL roadster body with the front seat riser cut down. The special cowl was probably made to tie the earlier firewall to the later T body. That’s just my thought. Anybody see anything else?

I don't know what to think of number 6.The wheelbase looks way too long to be a N/R/S. (Could have been lengthened?) Rear suspension looks right. However several other cars looked similar there. The body also looks too long. And is that a large gasoline tank hiding under the folded top? Or something else? I tried to look for the wishbone where I would expect it to be on a N/R/S, but couldn't see one, although there is a shadow that could be it? Maybe?
Certainly an interesting car. Parts of this, bits of that. Not known what it began as. I have serious doubts it is even a N/R/S radiator, although at this angle it is tough to tell. A lot of era cars (including Buick) had planetary transmissions and pedals very similar to these in those days. I don't know what it is. Interesting cowl and windshield addition though.

The top picture of the '14(?) shows some sort of a wheel at the bottom of the radiator. Is that some object just propped up there or possibly some sort of starting device?
