The car shown in the picture is a former Westside Lumber Company speeder that is powered by a model A engine.
During my time at the GLT Dan Holmes rebuilt and made it operable one winter as a project.
I remember this rebuild being done the winter of 2001-2002. I say rebuild not restoration because it was made into a useful track maintenance tool rather than a functioning museum piece.
