1959 Cadillac Gunboat

[Chuck Most]

Basically- I took an incomplete Polar Lights '59 Cadillac Miller-Meteor combination and threw various odds and ends from the spares box and scratchbuilt parts at it to fill in the blanks. 

The car is fitted with auxiliary lighting, a winch, siren, and, oh yeah... a 105mm recoilless rifle. That should be more than enough firepower to give pause to any marauder who isn't put off by the vehicle's appearance alone. There's also a stripped-down-and-armed-to-the-teeth Yamaha DT-1 250 Enduro strapped to the back, for those times when a 22' long vehicle would be just too damned... you know... impractical. The cargo area is cluttered with a few bare wasteland essentials... extra fuel, oil, and coolant, some spare tires, etc.. Next week, who knows, it might be hauling barrels of radioactive waste, or fuel for barter, or maybe some cute pink flower pots. Whatever your dystopian spending habits would demand.
