I found that on the HAMB Vintage Shots From Days Gone By thread - That's the first time I saw that pic I asked if anyone had any more info
My guess is that was built to go on the custom car tours of the 50/60's
I don't have a baby Sis, if I had and she looked like this I would have spent a lot of time in jail for Salt'n the Battery
