Dealing with the room shortage at this year's Cirque du Cyclisme
Having trouble finding a room at this year's Cirque? Here's one inventor's solution from the "Concours Lépine et Salon des Sports":

(original text) "Like a snail with it's house on it's back, but faster and considerably more sophisticated, with water, gas, and electricity. The top and side panels fold to form a box just 35 cm high with enough room to store all the furnishings. This is one way to solve the housing shortage."
The car is a Citroën from around 1949.
