Horseless Carriage

The US Army, National Guard, and militia have had automobiles almost from the beginning.  This is a toy car I got decades ago, and it is such an early motor vehicle it has wagon wheels.  White rubber tires were an early development.  Tires are black because they added carbon to the rubber to make it stronger.  White tire rubber was common until about 1916.  
This is my lego type version of an early horseless carriage.  
The bricks I got at Dollar Tree..
This one is missing a wheel, but I will either resin cast a replacement or switch out to a different kind of wheel.  These lego type cars will be for my troops and the blue one will be a civilian car.
