A 1932 American Bantam that was used for ferry service over the Pudding River in Oregon. The operator removed the tires and placed rubber bands on the rims for traction. Three cables were strung, two for the wheels and the third attached through the top of the car for stability.
I think I've posted the photo (and several people on different sites on the internet claimed it was photoshopped.) before but I just accidentally located the short video clip below:
C.W. West of Barlow, Oregon gives campers and swimmers a one-of-a-kind ride with an American Bantam that runs on a cable bridge over the Pudding River. People pay a dime to enjoy the great view and leap out for a swim too. 1932.
