from Batman: Gotham by Gaslight (featuring a SURPRISE Jack the Ripper), a steampunk batcycle...    between the extended wheelbase, the 1/2 ton weight and especially those non-rounded slicks, the cornering's got to suck

Is that a new animated film? I don't remember a motorcycle in the original comic.

well, the very FIRST 1941 batmobile wasn't special...  and batcycles aren't exactly new...  the upgrade features a side-go-kart... man that looks DANGEROUS! can anyone say "FACEPLANT"?  racing go karts are INSANE! 0-60 and back to 0 in under 3 seconds, if memory serves me right, and i see a new electric can do 0-60 in just 1.5 seconds, so it could probably get back to 0 in under 2.5 seconds the "batpod" that separates from the "tumbler" batmobile...  and here's a sneak peek at the next "low tech" batcycle, that's already crashed. it looks like it's built for acceleration more than handling, or STEALTH with those short headers  the new batmobile is super low tech too...

I don't think the E Series aka Ford Falcon were ever sold as pickup trucks, though they were sold as cabin-only chassis (which would make an awesome RV) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_E-Series

The pickup was produced in the first generation of E-Series, from 1961 through 1967. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_E-Series#Pickup_truck

"Cab-over-engine" pickup trucks were apparently popular in the late 1950s and early '60s, to the point that even companies without van offerings developed for the market, like Willys/Kaiser's Forward Control FC-150 and FC-170. I also have a vague recollection of seeing an International Harvester cabover pickup truck, but cannot find a photograph.

That is a wild ride. It took me a few seconds to see how to steer the wheel.. It must be a "bear" to drive!

There are some crazy designs similar to that which do run, but not easy to ride.

That's the way to do it; make a period look object by imitating the style and detail of a real period object.

Even though the motorcycle doesn't work, I think that something very similar could be done in a working version.
