My wanderings and ponderings with a little kitsch thrown in for good measure.

Oh My
This was parked on a used car lot I rode by yesterday. I showed the photo to a friend who asked me if this was going to be "my next set of wheels". Aesthetics aside, I'm not sure I'm brave enough to drive a chicken.
Martha, It is on the Missouri side now. Aren't we the lucky ducks? It definitely is an attention getter. I suspected it was a parade piece. We can hope it is one of a kind. ~k
Brandy, It is an attention getter, for sure. I was glad I had a place to pull over to take the photo. It defies describing with words, it really needs a photo for folks to really get the picture of what it looks like. ~k
Richard, You may be right about it being a factory option. If so, it may explain the struggles the automobile industry went through. Wasn't it Hoover who promised a chicken in every pot and a car in every garage? It seems some visionary decided he needed a chicken in his garage. Makes me wonder what he has in his pot.
There is kitsch, and there is... that.
ReplyDeletePretty far out there, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI remember that!!! When I lived in Central IL I used to see that chicken caddy all the time! It can stay down there, too.

Isn't the supersize chicken a regular factory option? It's supposed to help you be noticed in a sea of Camry's.
ReplyDeleteSo how much did you buy it for?

I'm sure the vehicle is priceless.

ReplyDeleteThat is a very SAFE vehicle. Safe from being stolen, safe because everyone on the road will see you.
