COOL!!!
That's quite a site there. You learn something every day!!!
Thanks, roflwaffle!
It looks like the Kubvans and Kurbwatts may have been a predecessor of the LLV... Hey, Schultz! Can you find out anything for sure from your side???
Looks like with the aluminum body, that the curb weight isn't too bad, either!
...a person still might want to get the thing for swapping into something more aero, and sell the aluminum... if that isn't like a Cardinal Sin...
