Can anyone identify, or have a suggestion of where William can ask for identification of this Italian 1905-1909 Diatto and Clement engine?

I enjoy reflecting on the cars of 100 years ago, it's amazing that they were all simple enough for a gearhead like me to work on, repair, or improve on.
What do you make of the above tire covers? A primitive retread? And that company name, Leather Tire Goods... what leather tire goods did they make?
I think I've pointed out several times that roads were so bad that tires were lucky to last a couple thousand miles, just last week I found a photo of a the "3000 mile club" tires that were amazing enough to get that kind of recognition.
the above is a Winton

Streamlined COE fuel tanker of unknown make built for Gilmore, 1935, either by
Good looking rolling advertisement, some think it was a White designed by Count de Sakhnovsky, and others think it was designed by Wellington Everett Miller
the above 2 photos are from Steve, and he looked up this tanker, and these photos were taken during the Yosemite Economy runs, 1936-38

Tank on rails, WW 1? Clever that the rail rims are mounted to the ordinary tires and rims
Gravity fed fuel system, quite the jalopyhttp://steampunkvehicles.tumblr.com/ a source for many cool and unusual cars, highly recommended
Paul Garrett didn't build this car, he bought it. Truth in advertising, if Garrett and Sons aren't honest about that, are you going to buy from them?
This is Frankentein built by Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop, you'll see it as the 11th hot rod in this list of hot rods that Ricky Bobbys Rod Shop built http://rickybobbysrodshop.com/rods 
What is it called when a guy buys a car, puts his business name across the sides, and brings it to shows? I talked to Ricky at he GNRS show when I was incredibly impressed with "One Night Stand" http://choosingscars.blogspot.com/2011/01/ricky-bobbys-rod-shop.html and just emailed him
From Ricky's email to me today:.... I just what to be low key and have fun.....and hope one day that my car is that barn find that some young guy will find and be very proud of and aways wonder who in the hell built it.... and wish that the car could talk..... thats it no more ... your friend Ricky Brown
Roundabout and Etienne immediately recognized this license plate! It's Italian, and from Milano
It is really unusual to see license plates from other countries in San Diego, and I didn't know what this one was. It's great to have so many people to ask and get help from, thank you everyone!If you enjoy looking at the "What is it" vehicles because you are up for a challenge, Prewarcar.com has a catagory to enjoy
Anyone know what the red letter "I" are about?
maybe these are just some new "thing" like the "Obey" photos of Andre the giant that were put up everywhere around San DiegoCan anyone help Laurie with information about this barnfind 1933 Tempo Wagen type T-10?
Hello and thank-you for taking the time to read this. I am sending this out to anyone I think might be able to help me with some knowledge of this vehicle. I am asking for any information at all.
There is nothing on the internet at all that I can find. I would like information about it's history, rarity, value, and any help on who might be interested in this vehicle, though, technically it's a motorcycle, or if not that, then perhaps a lead as to who else I could try to contact.
It's owner, Bob, lives down the road and I've always admired all the neat junk he's had out over the 20 or so years I've lived here. I met him last week and just that quick he has decided that he wants me to help him get rid of it.
You see, his wife of 54 years has very recently passed away. They were both avid collectors, but now he just wants to move south to be with family.
The vehicle is a 1933 Tempo-Wagen I can tell you it works, everything is there, there's even the windsheild in perfect shape. The steering wheel is just raw exposed 4" peices of wood wired together. And if you can't tell, it's a two seater. The cushion for the first seat is completely deteriorated. The other one is in decent shape and says Bruninghaus.
I asked my husband if it was a basket case and he laughed and said ,"heck no, this is an easy fix!!!!." The paint seems to be original.
So I'm thanking you for taking the time to read this. I hope I haven't overextended myself and anxiously await a reply from you. Please do get back to me so I am assured that you even received this and so I'll know if I have to keep looking for more people to try to contact. http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=4690&id=100001776133463 here's pics and paperwork
Thank You, and have a nice day,Laurie Everett
