The caption calls out five vehicles and there are five in the picture. I suspect the Weiner Rover is that R/C thing that wouldn't hold a person.

Unintentional boattailing :



I was admiring the boattailing of this dump truck at work.

There is also a roll up tarp that is pulled back as seen here, so not only are the sides tapered, but the bed is also covered by the tarp.

Unintentional or super-smart?

Ever since I've seen this, I cannot understand -- why noone ever took a VW microbus and the roof of a 1948 Cadillac sedanette and mashed them together with a cover over the spare tire on the front?

It's got Dagmars.

Looks like an oversized Isetta. Not much of a surprise considering its Italian origin.

Makes me wonder how much of an aerodynamic penalty that harmonica would cause.
