eBay Watch: Wooden Car from 1952

At $29,900 on eBay, this wooden car from 1952 features an engine that uses "two sets of pistons mated at the flywheel inside a single engine block that was capped by a single head casting." Auction page. Click here for first picture in gallery.

An interesting home-built hotrod has just shown up on eBay that mates this classic engine to a custom wooden body designed by - get this - a boat builder. The vehicle itself was inspired by a Modern Mechanix Magazine article from the '50s and features a French connection by way of suspension components from a Citroen.
