Old guy from the church I used to go to told a story that he had to go town in a hurry. They'd been using the family Model T to plow, and it had those tractor-type steel wheel like in Bruce's pic above.

He drove the car to town with those wheels on it. Said all his fillings fell out.

This thing was built expressly for transporting Mercedes race cars. At over 100mph. The way Leno explained it (he has one, of course), Mercedes, when they had to work on one of their racers, didn't like working away from home, so, if they had mechanical difficulty, they'd load the car and drive it to the home shop back in Germany. No matter where in Europe they were. This thing was a legend back in the day, they always got there and back in time to race. Leno said it would do well over 100 with a car on it.

ETA: IIRC.
