I assume the motor's in the rear ... looks like a swing-arm type suspension, BUT ... how do you get in the dang thing? NASCAR style entry? Ya' gots ta' be pretty skinny!

That's pretty inventive. I'll bet it used to be one of those old VW station wagons back in the day.

Don't think so 9'er ... the old VW's had louvered vents in the back for the air-cooled engine intake. I don't know wtf that thing is ... or was!

Man, this certainly went a different direction than I thought it would.

It would be an interesting little contest to guess what that thing WAS ... before becoming a snow plow. I'm assuming Co9 may be on the right track as I'm guessing it's possibly in Germany. I can't make out the other cars, but there's a Mercedes in the background and the sign on the building in back "possibly" says, "Nie Parken" which would be German for "Never Parking" in English.

Bingo Airhead! Looks like a winner. (notice the hubcaps/wheels) Looks like they cut out part of the roof and welded it together keeping the vent-wing opening and a rear portion of the front window opening. (guess that's why there's no glass for that window)

So, where was the original motor located---front or back???....and, where is it, now, on the snowplow??? ;)

Looks like the snow plow attachment and the tire chains might be worth more than the car. ;)

It's in the back (both questions).

I'm not a big famous noticer, but the reflection off the window of the van in the upper left looks to say something like, "J Sucks".

Is that German, too.... ;)

Do you mean it says that right there in front of where all those cars are parked? You sure that's what it says?

500 ... 126 ... only 374 difference. Big deal! ;)

Yeah, I thought the same thing P-hole ... then as I looked closer, it kinda-sorta looked like the "no parking" sign is on the wall of a building across from the parking lot. Can't really tell.
