CC Capsule: 1973 Oldsmobile 98 Chicken Car – Nice Cock

Hungry?

Our pal TheProfessor47 brings news of today’s rather extravagant customized Oldsmobile.  The car is said to be rather famous around Santa Monica, California, which is why I’m running this story despite flirtations with similar (if not identical) Oldsmobiles.

That’s a fine piece of tail if I ever saw one.

As the Professor mentioned, the car is famous not just locally but on the teevee as well:

The gigantic bird takes on a rather regal gait as it saunters along the boulevard, don’t you think?  I feel ashamed to know I can never hope to be so dignified while heading to the store for dog food for I, alas, have no large animal likenesses on my roof or trunklid.

While at first appearing foreboding, this chicken gradually looks more friendly.  Construction materials are unknown, but judging by the size of the fastening hardware used to affix the head to the roof, it must be substantial.

Frankly, I’m surprised I even noticed this damaged filler panel, what with all the other visual commotion going on.  As such, I think I may glue a wild boar or zebra’s head to the hood of my car when the vinyl top really starts looking rough in hopes that misdirection trumps materials integrity.

Earlier I had explained to Paul that the Midwest is simply a wasteland for those who enjoy looking at interesting cars.  Rust is an issue, but the bigger factor may be that Midwesterners, at least when compared to those from southern California, just aren’t that eccentric.  Thus, finding a nut who is also a car nut in this part of the world is much more uncommon here.  (It wasn’t until later that I remembered I was talking to a guy who grew up partly in Iowa amongst corn fields and farm equipment and I was therefore preaching to the choir.)

At any rate, I do hope folks around here loosen up someday soon.
