What a shame

[MarsFab]

Well the wife and I were out doing our Sunday grocery shopping and she decided she needed to go to AC Moore to get something. SO we walk in the door and I see this. It appears to be an early 60's nissan patrol. Which is a rig I think would be awesome to build. It was complete minus the motor and maybe seats. Still had the factory axles and all. I can't believe something like this would go to waste as a store prop. What a shame.

Dude, you should ask to see a manager and flat out ask how much to buy it.
that is a rare bird indeed, may have an interesting story behind it.

Go into Old Navy they have a mid fifties PU that appears to be in a excellent condition. Pisses me off everytime I see it just sitting there!

What you probably don't see is the 10gals of bondo and filler that has gone into making it look nice and pretty.

Why in the hell would this be a prop in AC Moore? It doesn't even fit the "scene".

^^^ Furthermore, can you imagine seeing Chris in AC Moore? I'd have the same reaction as with the patrol!

It should be a Honda Odyssey or equivalent.

Chris has lost his man card

btw I would love to see someone build a patrol, I've never seen one in person.

Gotta keep the wife happy. Ya'll know how it is.

[MarsFab]

Holy crap he's alive!!! Where the hell have you been hiding Joe. You get that jeep stuck under a rock?

A lot of times if it is a temporary display it will be owned by someone who works at the store or a family member. I have known a lot of people who have been in the process of restoring a vehicle and let a store use it as a display while they were doing engine work. I had a friend who took the bed off of his old Mazda B2000 for a truckload sale at Food Lion. SO don't be too fretting it has been relegated to a life of flower display instead of flower smasher.
