Craigslist Obomination

Who in their right mind would do this to their car. This person put an Olds Alero, 62 pickup truck, and a grand am into one horrible looking car.

He'd make more money renting it out to guys with marital trouble (as one poster on this forum suggested about his own '64 Imperial once).

Rent this car and bring it home for one night - Instant divorce in the morning.

I can't blame anyone for wanting that out of their yard.

Obviously, you guys don't recall Manny Hanny's "Anycar" advertising campaign in the 1970s...













I want one.

Sombody was on glue when they thought up these brain storms.That truck car thing may be a rednecks idea of a cool ride or somone that has been sniffing too many fumes.But that is somthing I would never do or have anything to do with.Not to mention the fact it is three vehicles bubble gumed together.What a waste and the truck cab should never be part of a fwd car or fwd period.I have my fair share of ideas but not a clown car like that.

Those aren't so bad. The thing from the original post is hard to look at though. Maybe if it was painted? Nah...

That's been discussed on Aleromod for about 10 days now. It's not getting good reviews over there either

Reminds me of a Johnny Cash tune. I made it one piece at a time, and didnt cost me a dime.
