The Thunderbolt was a six wheel vehicle. The front was four wheels with the
leading wheels narrower then the trailing front wheels. Any picture from a
front angle looks like the wheels are staggered. I have a cut away drawing
of the car as well as other information and pictures in the book. Great
stuff.
