    Are the handles on the sides and tailgate for skateboarders and cyclists to hang on to?

    So you have a simple yet very nice looking car with shiny paint, but what is the new paint job going to cost after having to fill the holes because you fasted 5 bathroom towel racks to the wagon?

    He was preparing to become very famous and need secret service protection.

    My guess was that he hauled a lot of stuff up on the rack frequently......

    Guess he didn't want to scratch the roof rack with bungee cords so he screwed towel racks to the body...... makes perfect sense now!

    should have just screwed this to the wagon :biglaugh:

    Looks like the current owner has taken the desirable finned wheel covers it used to have.

    Red funeral car now?, That wasn't in the original listing ( and who could forget the towel racks screwed to the body....... maybe to hang flower baskets?:rednose:) Seen white, silver, black, even really dark blue funeral cars, not since 50's pictures in colour have I seen red ...when a 1 in all vehicle served as fire, ambulance, hearse, morgue ) . So if you're funeral flower car with bathroom towel racks is red...... is that a sign of where you are going?:evilsmile:

    Red is certainly eye catching. For some, being ignored is the worst possible indignity.
