The concept had been around a long time. 'I've got this old Ford but I 
need something to haul the hogs to market. Let me get the fire wrench...'  
That worked well until unibody construction took off.

There was one spotted around town. Definitely weird. Someone at work has 
one and I only spotted it due to the lack of a grille like a Corvair. 
Otherwise it was just another car. Back in the day any kid worth his salt 
could tell a Ford from a Chevy 2 blocks away and give a run down on the 
particular year and model. Maybe it's me getting old but now they all look 
the same. I've even headed for a Nissan in the parking lot because I 
basically am looking for a small blue car. That's not easy in a town that 
favors Kenworth sized pickups and SUVs.
