When I drove to north Phoenix to photograph the hummingbird mural I featured on Monday, I saw this window with the overflowing window box so I snapped a photo. That's when I noticed the reflection of the vehicle.
So I walked over to that strange looking vehicle to get a closer look. I think it just sits here on the corner as a sort of display. There was nothing to indicate that it was used for anything. It looks a bit like some type of armored transport but I really have no idea what it was once used for.
When I drove around the back and spotted the "tree" mural, I also found this rather amusing carved log wearing a pair of shorts. Someone must have thought that this log looked very much like a human torso so they added the shorts confirm the look.
Someone will identify that vehicle so I will check back to see what it is.
ReplyDeleteInteresting finds, indeed!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a Unimog, a heavy duty utility truck, a lot of them were for military use.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimog
ReplyDeleteUnimog!! Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteWonderful finds, I like the carved stump with shots. Someone has a sense of humour.
ReplyDeleteThat's the first I've heard of that kind of vehicle.
ReplyDeleteAt first I thought that reflected truck was a toy sitting in the window box! That stump with the shorts is just bizarre.
ReplyDeleteSome really cool finds there and yep I was going to say it's a Unimog something you quite offten see over here
ReplyDeleteThe truck looks very vintage to me but not sure what exactly it is.
ReplyDeleteThat was a clever reflection Sharon I also thought that was a toy truck in the window 😉
