Carts--Not For Golf

I was wondering how much anyone knew about this cart (attached). My grandmother drove it when she moved to Sun City AZ in the early 60's...it was not a golf cart; it was her way to the grocery store etc. I don't know anything about it and were it not for my cousin Cathy I would not have a picture of it...anyone with any inspiration it would be appreciated.

What is a Taylor-Dunn Trident?

 

I googled for images of 1960s 3-wheelers and came up with a match then a description here. It's electric, built from 1959 to 1963, with a top end of 16 MPG. I bet Jan & Dean would have picked up on it if they'd only found a rhyme for Trident.

Wow...your grandma was a Sun City 'pioneer'! Great picture, with those now-historic early Del Webb houses in the background. Is that you or your cousin riding shotgun, off to shop at the A. J. Bayless? (no one who has not lived in pre-1985 Arizona will get the last reference)

Wow ... that's cool, Kip!

 

 

That MicroCar Museum looks like something else, too. Next time I go to Atlanta to visit friends in that area, I'm going to have to make a point of checking that place out in person.
