The other night we were watching a documentary on local tv. It was about the round-the-world trip of the airship ‘Graf Zeppelin’ that in 1929 went from New York to New York via Germany, Siberia, Japan and Los Angeles. But what really interested us was this minute shot of two cars driving a New York street. Perhaps the shot was included in the documentary to add some ‘couleur locale’. Both cars look very advanced for 1929, especially the streamliner. The three-wheeler looks very much like the forefather of the BMW Isetta. They are clearly parading in front of the movie camera, but we have no idea what they are. So we took a picture of the tv-screen, hoping that you can tell us what they are and perhaps even know the occasion of this scene?
