Fans of vintage automobile drag racing hopefully remember the Hawaiian, the race team of Roland Leong – a team and career that spanned AA/Fuel Dragsters and a whole lot of funny cars. Apparently this trike was given away by Hawaiian Punch as a promotion on behalf of Leong.
No idea who I’m talking about? Start with this profile on the man from Hot Rod magazine.
Over the years, Leong was sponsored by companies like King’s Hawaiian and Hawaiian Punch, which resulted in liveries like these (photos from the above Hot Rod article):

This little trike is claimed to still run very well though it’s got plenty of rust. Just don’t expect to get anywhere fast, as the Tecumseh engine put out 3.5 horsepower when new.
