From the Steib group at Yahoo:
Clearing up regarding Bender side cars. (information taken from the Bender Sidevogen catalog)..there were two Bender models of side cars manufactured...
(1) MODEL LV..this is a light car with a wrap around steel frame as on the Steib S models. IT has a coil spring axel and coil sprung body. all pivot points have grease fittings..132 lbs. Locking trunk....
(2) MODEL LM..similar in construction to the LV with
the exception that it is larger. Looks almost like a Steib S500, but
it is larger, about 2 inches. 179 lbs. It has coil spring axel and
body....I have owned in the past an LV model attached to a 1965 R60/2
and it was a wonderful unit..
