Wheelin’ for holiday presence.

Turn it over and there’s got to be an ACME label.

Maybe a picture of Wile E Coyote.

It’s the Ultimate Multipurpose Vehicle.

truck customized for hunting. Elevated deer blind

Dreamy or delirium?

At home in any suburban family setting.

Messy eaters?

No worry. Sit them right out front.

Winds whisks away crumbs. Rain rinses jelly smudges.

The seat covers and floor mats inside, spotless!

Always in a hurry to drop the kids off in the morning?

Speed through that carpool line. No need to slow down. Jump now kids!

Desperate for needed pageant practice? Here’s an available stage.

Perfect for those trips to the mall, send up a spotter up top to find available parking spots.

Best of all: Al fresco seating great for passengers who repeatedly tell the same jokes, wear too much perfume, or ate chili with beans for lunch.

Look Honey, there’s a little playhouse for Susie up top! Told ya’ I’d get her one.

Great for tailgating at football games.

Multiple party zones.

Charge extra for penthouse seating!

Teens will be wild over it for Spring Break trips.

Enjoy the show-off tanning seats out front (Pedi and polish on stage. Sparkle, Baby!)

Get above the crowd on the filming platform.

See or be seen in between.

Karaoke, anyone?

 Thoughtfully designed. Bound to impress.

An image booster for sure.

Crank it up, boys. Sky’s the limit for this party.

In a rural setting, another hit!

No longer do drivers have to duck or worry about hunters standing in the back misdirecting a shot.

A choice of shooting gallery seating.

Enough lights to blind deer – or game wardens.

Out for ducks? Just reach out and grab one!

Silly wabbits or irritating Road Runners? They’ll be no match.

Elmer Fudd’s dream.

So if you’re still hunting – for that perfect gift

Shoot, here it is!

Uh, don’t take that literally.

Local expression of joy.

Obviously could be improved with a touch of camo. But what wouldn’t?

Camo. Even for inflatable snowmen

Oh. just a note.

There’s a travel advisory issued by Homeland Security on this vehicle.

Do not seat elderly persons at the top level.

Some Grandma got run over by a reindeer.

Or that’s their tune and they keep singing it.

Poor Pearl. She was here. Then she was gone.

The wheel truth.

That’s all folks.

    I’m thinking it could be the perfect vehicle for the work commute. Some of the people up top in the cherry picker could act as spotters, giving you aerial views of the traffic and telling you alternate routes to take.

    Others could sit in the middle section and enjoy their breakfast or dinner in the fresh breeze while going to/from work — saving time since they could eat on the go.

    Although I do foresee a potential problem if you have to go under a bridge with low clearance….

    There’s a U.S. ‘reality’ TV show we get called I think, High Tech Rednecks about a company called Critter Gitters that creates similar vehicles.
    I’m trying to work out if the feature panels are subtle camo or upcycled floral wallpaper… shabby chic’d… a his n’ hers compromise?
    Love it… duck, what where? get the gun… No…. duck… oops, too late 😉

      Wow. Missed that show. This was done by a local vehicle modification shop…they must be fans of that show – and it’s the perfect Christmas present? The top extension was so like Looney Tunes Acme for Road Runner hunts, I had to stop.
      I think you’re right about the panels – I was puzzled why they weren’t camo – but that’s the answer. Thanks for shooting over a great comment

    I’d better not be showing Partner that one. He might want it!! He already wants a Camper conversion for the Landy, or at the very least a roof tent. What’s wrong with a good old fashioned tent I ask him? (well, except ours are all passed their sell-by dates).

      Hunting/off road vehicles are around, but this one with the top extensions. All I could see was Looney Tunes plot lines.Just too funny…and all that potential of snagging one of Santa’s reindeer…no doubt one will be on some reality show in the middle of a wedding event.
      Grew up camping every summer – old army surplus tent (heavy canvas and no floor…skunks really did run in and out under the cots. A camper sounds like luxury…except I always wonder, how do you set up camp then go off to see the sights/get supplies if the tent’s on the vehicle. Here someone would take your camping spot. Probably a good idea to hide this pix. Thanks for the campy remark
