This car is an advertisement for the shop behind it, selling antiques and nautical things - - and it obviously is driven around as it has a legal tag on it -

It creates an amusing combination of a mermaid swimming underwater but at the same time has a cover to keep the rain off! ;D

The following info about this plane was found by Capney in GC.
Focke-Wulf A 16 Mowe 1924
CREW 1 PASSENGERS 4 ENGINE 1 x Siemens Sh.11 7-cylinder radial, 56kW WEIGHTS Take-off weight 970 kg / 2138 lb DIMENSIONS Wingspan 13.90 m / 45 ft 7 in Length 8.50 m /27 ft 11 in Height2.30 m / 7 ft 7 in PERFORMANCE Max. speed135 kmh / 84 mph Ceiling 2500 m / 8200 ft Range 550 km / 342 miles
With the success of their earlier designs Focke and Wulf formed the Focke Wulf company in 1924and their first design was an all-wood three/four passenger airliner or light transport the A.16. First flown by Georg Wulf on 23 June 1924 at least 20 aircraft were built. The A.16 was a high-wing monoplane of conventional configuration. The wing used a thick airfoil. The pilots sat in an open cockpit above the wing while the passengers were carried in the enclosed fuselage below. The tailskid undercarriage featured large wheels mounted on each side of the fuselage.
PS - I might add that "Mowe" (Möwe) means Sea Gull.

I don't see how that can possibly be legal, over here some people have been pulled up for having a satnav stuck to their windscreen!
But that is ridiculous! Showing off it has to be, and I bet he never goes out when it is raining! ;D

I just showed these pics to PV and he said that he has seen it, too - and it is legal!!! It seems that Florida has no laws and TÜV / MOT, etc. Some people put all of their money into such things, so you can be sure that no matter what the vehicles look like, they are road worthy. Can you believe that? PV has even seen a bed driving along!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! One of these old fashioned ones with metal head- and foot-boards. Pity he didn't have his camera ready.
