That's pretty cool. For those of you that don't have Facebook, here are a couple of youtube videos.

Pretty cool but it doesn't look all that stable on a side slope. Any idea how many were made?

I think I saw that only one was made.
Oh, found a color picture


Here is an excerpt from this page: https://mashable.com/2015/09/17/the-.../#nVqQLsYr8gqc
"The Marmon-Herrington Company of Indianapolis built one prototype of the Rhino for demonstration. The United States military declined to purchase any, reportedly out of concern that the wheels could be punctured by gunfire, sinking the vehicle."

It looks like it is still alive this web site has a newer video: The Petrol Stop: Marmon-Herrington ?The Rhino?

It looks like the kind of thing they'd put on the cover of Mechanix Illustrated in the early 60's, "Car of the Future Needs No Roads!" Right next to the articles about commuting in flying cars.
