Years ago, my dad attempted to widen the rear track of his then-late-model 1972 Dodge motorhome (single-wheel B-van cutaway) by replacing the stock rims with the type of Budds used with duals, with reverse offset. On the maiden voyage, it lost four of the eight lug bolts—sheared right off—over...

:) Well, imitation is supposed to be the sincerest form of flattery.

For as small as they are, new cars might as well be cargo vans with respect to rearward vision. (Front and sides not much better.) I’m guessing that the reverse screen was working just fine but the driver’s brain was out to lunch.

A ’62 Chrysler proved tougher than the ’57 Chevy in this front-rear fender bender.

My physician quite literally told me that I need much more exercise… here’s a way to accomplish two things at once!

Holy crap, what luck! I’d ’ve been tempted to hit the blackjack table(s) after that!

Interesting access panel in front! :wideyed:

Adding to the polarizing bustle-back design of the Imperial was the position of the license plate recess, planted above the taillights like an afterthought. “Oh, why?” was my reaction when I first saw it. Edit/addendum: At least it wasn’t as derivative as the Cadillac Cimarron.

When an ICE truck was actually an ice truck rather than just any ol’ truck that runs on gas or diesel.

Wonder how many Millennials, Gen-Z-ers and Alphas are blissfully baffled by this sign?
