Funny, but I kinda like it. Could tow that with a bicycle, no tongue weight.

I like the red/white Ford pickup but the wheels are just silly.

I guess you would have to go kinda slow when turning that site-seeing hunters rig.

Looks like it would be right at home in a Jurassic Park movie.

Here is one that looks almost normal, but with a custom touch.



Can anyone guess who owned this? Or who built it for the famous celebrity?

Built by George Barris for John Wayne. I'd have just taken the hat off...

Right on all three accounts. John Wayne, George Barris, and I would have just taken the hat off also.

edit: Well, according to that link, the one I posted must be the second of the three vehicles. It still has the round headlights, instead of the rectangular ones. Also, read the edit at the bottom, it sold for $71,000 at the auction, and is now listed on Hemmings for $115,000. That is what I call extreme car flipping.

Well, to be honest, I didn't notice the headlights at first, it was the gray paint, with red interior that I noticed, then I glanced at the headlights.

Our UPS delivery guy runs our route on a bicycle! Why?

Theories;
He got a DUI and lost his license.
He likes the exercise.
He gets to avoid the heavy freight items.
It's the whole "brown is the new green" thing.

I'll have to ask him if I get a face to face chance. It will be interesting to see if he has a sense of humor about the DUI theory.

Wonder how he secures the packages when he is delivering to the door?
