Sidecar Sunday


Steib promotional ashtrays.
 Josef Steib opened a bodyshop in Nuremberg in 1914 specializing in paint and upholstery. By 1927 the company started building sidecars. When the sidecar market collapsed in the late 1950s, Steib turned to building agricultural equipment such as wagons, manure spreaders and similar.  The company closed up permanently in 1989.

Thanks, Rolf!

    Ah, the stalldungstreuer. Literally, "dung strewer." Fun, but I think a liquid manure spreader would be the toy to have:

    And, it's a lot less messy.

    That is an impressive machine, and probably pretty smelly!
    I'd rather have a sidecar:-)
