Need a 1976 to pull a parade float

We participate in the Touch of Dutch parade every year in DeMotte, Indiana. This year’s theme is Happy Birthday as it is the 50th year, having started in 1976. Looking for an awesome example of a 1976! The more unique the better. Below is a cut from the web sit and a picture of our float. If you are willing to do this, PM me. Thanks

On Saturday August 9th the Touch of Dutch Parade will commence at 10 am (CDT). We are inviting you to participate by submitting your application here. The theme for 2025 is Birthday Themed, the Touch of Dutch turns 50 this year!

Great idea for emphasizing the founding year of your group. Advise testing that vehicle under similar conditions/time first to avoid overheating or battery issues due to low speed, long duration operation. Please don't ask me how I came to know about this possibility.
