Let's say you'd never seen a bus before but you have seen a cat, would you design it like this?

Fifteen comically chaotic, bumbling, self-defeating henchmen, at that.

We could have been riding around in that sweet ride instead of my crappy Nissan Stanza.

I prefer the butter-glider myself

Really unique looking car. Seems to be a 1950s cab over engine Chevrolet based on reverse image search. A lot of people calling it a Suburban but I think it looks different than photos of Suburbans I've found from that era. Maybe it's been modified, idk.

It's a 1954 Chevy COE 5700, but it looks like those only came in flatbed. Pic makes it look like it's been retrofitted with the back end of a 1954 Chevy 3100 panel van. It's probably Photoshop. The panel van's back end doesn't look long enough to do this. It could have been done irl by someone determined enough to make it happen - but then it wouldn't look like it does in the OP.

My fil is right beside me says it's definitely cab-over panel truck he thinks they made that style(cab-over) '48-56. Sometimes he has trouble remembering things. Not cars though - especially Chevys.

Now that you say this, it does look a lot like the trucks from this era. Most of the photos I've found have flatbeds but you can clearly see the same shape in this photo. I wonder if they sold a panel truck like this or if it was modified to be enclosed.

I’ve owned a 50’s Surburban. This ain’t that.

That baby is begging to be a Herkimer Battlejitney.

[-] RattlerSix@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Wait! You have a Herkimer Battle Jitney? That's the finest nonlethal military vehicle ever made!

[-] Iheartcheese@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Just junk it

[-] mcavoya@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

Aaaand now I have to watch it again!

Mystery Men -- that beast looks like a Herkimer Battle Jitney!

When your minivan gets stung by a bee.

[-] Senseless@feddit.org 7 points 2 years ago

It looks like it's coming right out of the fallout franchise.

[-] Zipitydew@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

My mind went to Gotham city police vans in BATS.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

This could easily be the Vault-Tec salesman's van if painted that way.

I'm sure you can even fit a couple more guys in the engine bay

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

That's the secret weapon. You pop the hood, and the two shortest goons with tommyguns spring into action.

[-] creditCrazy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Probably the funniest part of that is it's only half a joke. I have sat inside the engine bay of my 56 bel air. If a simple sedan can fit me under the hood imagine how much more excess space this van has under that tall hood compared to its small grill. The engine can't be talking that much space if it needs that much ventilation.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 3 points 2 years ago

Can they be giant Rastafarian eyeballs with tec-9s?

[-] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I'm afraid to ask what this is...

[-] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Hired goons?

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

It's da bat!

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Not only in the transporter. There are drive-by shooting platforms on both sides. How convenient.

[-] pelletbucket@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

now that's a paddy wagon.
