Jeff Glasser has just forwarded this link. Can anyone confirm the identity of the location?

Ha ha !!!
Brilliantly amazing conception for 1944 and well built. Good bit of film work too. Wonder what ever happened to it. I thought the location was somewhere in UK, but as they are driving on the right , USA/ Europe somewhere ? Nice archive find from Jeff.Bill T.
I think they drive on the right on US bases in the UK

The caption says ‘CBI Jan 1944’ which could refer to ‘China Burma India’. Narrows it down a bit perhaps.

Presages the fact that after the war, many belly tanks were turned into “lakesters”–very fast straight-line-speed record cars driven on the dry lakes of California and Nevada (Bonneville being the best-known one). Rather than a single-cylinder APU engine like this one, they were typically powered by Ford flathead V8s, later by big ohv engines. I did an article on them some years ago for Air & Space Smithsonian.
