| Original caption: | New Automobile Body. . .Especially Designed For Invalids -- Aged People "Go where you please with comfort and ease" Barclay Portable Chair Auto Body Patented U.S.A. and Foreign Countries Wright Barclay, Inventor The feature of this body is a disappearing ramp under the car floor, between the two side doors, which pulls out on either side of the car and drops down at a gradual incline to the curb of the sidewalk, permitting half of the back seat which is on wheels (as per cut) to be rolled in and out of the car, making a luxuriously upholstered wheel chair. When in the car, the back seat is securely locked in place -- no other wheelchair necessary. There are many other features we will gladly describe.
