I used to always get a laugh when I saw a photo of the weinermobile, but the last thing I ever thought I would witness was one actually going down the road.
Went out to dinner one evening last year and out of the corner of my eye I see this big yellow and orange hot dog going by the restaurant, talk about doing a double take.

 

Mont San-Michel is an amazing place! Cool old shot!

 

The rope sling damaged the right front fender and possibly others. Has that been repaired? That car is massive and really looks it in the early photos

 

If this was the case why were the roads still being heavily striped into the 90's?

Moderns engines are sealed better: one piece rear mains, O-rings, cast valve covers and oil pans vs. deformable tinwork with cork gaskets, etc.

 

Trucks.
