Unfortunately between being backlit, there not being any room on the  
window side, and the car being quite dusty, the pictures didn't turn  
out well enough for a geso.


However, I figured that the gearheads would appreciate the car.  This  
is one of my favorite hotrods.  Note that Mariah, my friend in a  
couple of the shots for scale, is six feet tall. A fun trivia quiz for  
the motorheads is to figure out what Bertha was before she was turned  
into a hotrod.

If memory serves it was a fire truck chassis.
