Advertising cars have been seen before on PreWarCar.com, but a man walking around wearing a car is something else. It is a marketing gimmick by the Winter Circus for their jumping car stunt, a daring and dangerous action that made us curious.
The car drives up the ramp at 70 km/h and does a somersault at a height of 12m before landing, hopefully, safe and sound on a platform. Our man is indeed advertising an interesting attraction — one we would still like to see with our own eyes. Unfortunately, this will have been at the beginning of the last century so, although this photo made us chuckle, we are keen to know what car they would have done this stunt in and whether they succeeded. Let us know if you have any more information.
Max Francesco or the Desprez brothers (one of whom was an engineer) used cars reduced to a fifth of their size, which could correspond to the "gadget car " carried by the man.
