It says it was the same company who made the minibikes. I'd like to see the pickup or station wagon they made in the 50s.

When I had my store in Long Beach , California I was on the freeway and saw one of the Powell mini pick-ups go buy me and I could not work my way back through the traffic to get a better look at it. I knew two of the Powell family members one was Dorthy Powell and her Brother in law one of the two original owners of Powell Brothers Manufacturing. To answer the question they were the same people who made the mini bikes that I used to sell in my store.
I would give the left nut and the eye teeth to have another chance at owning a Phantom 7 HP again Steve
