Dayton, Ohio native Luzern Custer developed several amusement park rides, including the Tippy Top, the Zoomer and the Swing Away. Probably his best known creation was the Custer Park Car. A miniature automobile with a metal body, hard rubber tubeless tires and four rechargeable batteries for power. The ride was first distributed to amusement parks beginning in 1925 but it is unknown when the Custer Park Car made its debut at LeSourdsville Lake or when the ride was removed. These pictures are from circa 1937. [Photo credits: park archives]
