Eshelman microcar

[number6]

I recently came across an add for an Eshelman car. I believe one came up for sale recently and I wondered if anyone remembers these. I read Popular Mechanics years ago and seem to remember something like this
advertised for sale in the back pages. There were several models avail and most ran with a B&S engine. Has any member ever owned one or have any detailed information?

I'd never heard of these but you got my interest so I did a bit of searching on the internet.

Apparently Mr. Eshelman built a number of small vehicles including mini-tractors, lawns mowers, children's cars and street-legal cars.
The street cars seemed similar to the more well-known ~King Midget cars~

Also, he sold a pretty wild looking boat made from surplus WW II airplane parts.

Here's two photos of the "adult cars". (the lady in the first photo must have been very short or the photo was manipulated):

Here's that boat:
