This really defines the WTF label here on Oddimotive.
So, there’s a Chevy S-10 in there, which is evident in the greenhouse, but not its location vs. other typically fixed points in the vehicle structure. Note that this is NOT a six-wheeler – that is a side-mounted spare, in the style of 1920s and 30s classics. While it’s hard to imagine dreaming this up, I must admit that the work appears to be well done.
Oh, did I mention that this is powered by a V12 from a Pierce Arrow? Makes sense…

Well, there’s this…
Yes, a rear end from a full-size dually was used and, no, I don’t know why the builder cheaped out on tail lights.
Knight Rider-style steering yoke is an ‘interesting’ touch.
Yep – there’s the 1941 Pierce Arrow V12. Should provide smooth power, as claimed by the seller/builder. It seems to me the engine is worth more than several 1998 S-10s.
