A horse is a horse, of course, of course!

Coming Across a 1923 Buick Moxie:
Yes, This Is a Real Thing

The first Moxie horsemobiles (or horse cars) were built around 1918.
The company had the idea of planting a “horse” on the chassis of a carriage to accommodate the driver.
The company apparently manufactured a few dozen of them until the late 1930s.
There was even a 1935 Rolls-Royce Moxie, a vehicle that sold for over $50,000 at auction in 2011.

Needless to say, to get behind the wheel of something like that, one had to be a little crazy.
Safety... What safety?

1923 Moxie Horsemobile going for a ride

Moxie placed a horse on top of various car chassis in the 1920s to promote its drink.
John Wissink had a replica Horsemobile built from a 1923 Buick truck chassis, and now he takes it to shows around the country.
This time he's giving a demonstration before the Iola Old Car Show

 

I just showed my wife who owns a horse. She was not amused with my suggestion of her next car.

 

New to me so freaking weird

 

I’d think the poor fella would trip when accelerating to pass
Where is the poop collected

 

I drank an occasional bottle of Moxie when I was a kid, but I liked Orange Crush better.

 

Pulling back on the steering wheel wouldn't accomplish much...Talk about confusion; - "I said whoa, you muthaf-----!"
