That thing is just wwhhroong. |
Do you think that thing is rear wheel steering, or articulated? Also, what is that thing? |
That is a lavatory servicing truck. The fellow on top of the tank is connecting the hose to the dump valve fitting. (Notice his gear--akin to the flight suit for an Me163 flight!)
I agree, looks like a Matador. _________________ 1956 Standard Sedan |

i think this one has been discussed before.
since those are Front Wheel Drive, they possibly just flipped the cab around and made it rear steer? _________________ regards

Oooft! That’s a monster bus!
When I see buses like this, I mean a swivel seat is bought for a reason so why add a sunroof?

Nearest we can figure is that it was a school bus.
Details are in the build thread. _________________ Founder and Chairman Emeritus, ECMSAS
