More of a freak or frankenbus than a work of art to my eye, but each to their own...

A friend sent me this picture from Hawaii. I don’t know what it is but I don’t think it’s a bus. |

I believe it's a fibreglass (or some other construction) food truck/trailer, as a lower cost alternative to sourcing/ruining an expensive vintage vehicle. |

Came across this. Maybe posted before?
Can't tell if it's a small model or full size. I can't imagine sharp objects that near a playground. The shadows are not aligned with the tree shadows so maybe a photo paste. |
