That car is facing directly towards the area where the crowd the Las Vegas shooter was shooting into was last Sunday. The Mandalay Bay property would be directly behind the car. You can see The Tropicana on the right.

 

Is this DeSoto pickup a home made job or did DeSoto actually produce a pickup. Export model maybe? Studebaker made some Packard pickups for export to South America.

 

The Alibi had the best deep fried chicken breast, used to get it to go, when I worked just down the hill at Freightliner.

 

No, no, no!! You're supposed to pull the camper! Not push it!

 

My guess is this oddity is of Brazilian manufacture. There were some really strange things built down there. The vegetation suggests of a tropical place, such as Brazil. Anyone got any hard evidence as to what this thing really is and where it was built?

 

Upper Hutt, New Zealand, late '40s maybe. The yellow plates were current 1946-51. Photo credit to "Colourising the Hutt" for several to follow.

 

Petone, New Zealand, 1948.

Somewhere in New Zealand, 1950s. The car is a mid 1930s Vauxhall.
