I see mid-60's custom. Think Monogram model kits. Think Paddy Wagon. Think Red Baron. OK;maybe not the Red Baron. You get the idea... ...And I haven't a clue as to what it is.
I'm thinking Evil Clown Ice Cream vending...Marilyn Manson tunes coming out of some hanging speakers.
stutz pack-age-car.. and rare as hell... there's a guy on here who just got 2 and theres a thread about it..
That one appears to be a Stutz Pak-Age-Car. Pretty rare with about 10 known to be left. I think I've seen other pictures of that same truck. ================================ The were also made later by Diamond-T. Here's a restored Diamond-T: PHOTOS BY: ClayMart ==================================== I just picked up 1 and 1/2 of them. Here's a link: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=525870 The engine is a small flathead 4 cylinder water cooled Lycoming with a transaxle and halfshafts. Similar to Corvette with a transverse spring. You stand up to drive! The throttle is on the gearshift lever. below is the other 1/2 a Stutz ===================================== Here's another one that was 'saved' last year ======================================== Here's the info I've found: The 1st model was actually known as a Pac-Kar, built in Chicago in 1926. It had a 7 hp 2 cylinder horizontally opposed engine mounted in the rear. By 1932 the Pak-Age-Car Corporation was in financial trouble, and was bought out by Stutz. The first 28 Stutz vehicles in a total order of 340 were completed by the summer of 1936. But this wasn't nearly enough to keep things going, Stutz declared bankruptcy in April 1937. Spring of 1938 Pak-Age-Car was sold to Auburn Central Company, (what remained of Auburn - Cord - Duesenburg). August 1938 the PAC-AGE-CAR Corporation of Connersville was formed as a subsidiary of Auburn and production moved to Auburn's idle Connersville plant. Since Auburn was also in bankruptcy and had no dealerships, Diamond-T was contracted as the dealership to sell and service them. =============================
I worked with a guy in the '70s that had something very similar, and drove it to work. He was banging a gal from the orderly room every day at lunch. We called it the "nooner schooner."
