Not my taste at all, but ya gotta admire the use of what ya got though. I have been there where no money outways the need so ya make due.

some one thought it was a good idea, not the way I would go but an A for effort

**jocko** · 04-26-2011, 10:25 PM

reminds me of the 8-quad headlight, green and wood panel family truckster in National Lampoon's Vacation.... All it needs is "Chevy" Chase!!! Get it? CHEVY chase... Ok, dumb, but it does remind me of that car thing they drove.

I saw a Family Truckster at a swap meet last year. I don't know if it was from the movie or just a reproduction but it looked exactly like the one in the movie. It wasn't even in the swap meet for sale it was just out in the parking lot.

Hard to tell on that one. I did a search for "Three Rivers" and found references all over the U.S.

That last picture looks just like one of the trucks from the "Cars" movie. It looks exactly like it's sleeping.
