This vehicle puts the "ug" in ugly. Now imagine it in two-tone brown! That was one of the original color choices. Add a couple of curb-feelers and you'd almost have a cockroach on wheels.

The shadow is an added bonus, accurately showing the stubby-yet-bulbous side profile in a single line.

This is parked in the recreated village of Red Oak II a short distance from Rt 66: www.redoakii.com.
