Sedalia Dave Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 https://www.efootage.com/videos/55485/unusual-car-ride-over-river-1932 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. It was said that one gallon of gas was enough for 1500 trips across the 120 foot span. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That upper cable keeps it from tipping and looks strong enough to hold the car all by itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
