Saw this wooden body car in a museum in Denmark. I don't remember if this was a one-off custom or something else.

A whole bunch of those European type mini cars owned by one guy. He has so many he has to stack them up on storage racks.

@hollydolly The red ford truck looks to be a 1954 F-100 1/2 ton
The Red Dodge is either a 1963 Dodge Polara or possibly a Coronet 330 or 440 model. Hard to tell without a rear view.

The last photo was like my first car. Same model same colour. You could stretch out full length with the rear seat lowered. Perfect for a teenage boy with something other than sleep on his mind.

If I were from the 1930s, this is the type of car that would appeal to me.

As a young child, I would watch a Lotus Europa glide past my house every late afternoon. Its low, wedge-shaped profile and mid-engine made it look like something from another world at the time.
It was the first car I ever truly wanted. After endless pestering, my mother finally bought me one. A toy version -- it was the closest I was ever going to get to owing one at the time.

Nice choice, i would buy one. And not as unsafe as the world was led to belive.

That looks like one pf Richard Buckminster Fuller's experimental cars. I'm I correct?
All of them his were three-wheelers. Given their length, they had a remarkably small turning radius. They were streamlined and were sort of a minibus that could seat quite a few people. None of the prototypes led to a production model.
