Very interesting, albeit a bit odd.

The 1st  & 4th axles steer! From what I’ve read about the OctoAuto it was way ahead of its time for the roads of the day which werent much better than dirt paths,

gave much better handling and roadability over ruts and potholes,main drawback was price ….very expensive for the day…
