There is a radio station here in Tallahassee Fla. that got an M-715 Kaiser
Jeep truck and made it into their mobile party wagon. They painted it
"taxicab yellow" with purple rims, bumbers and brush guard. They painted
their logo on the doors in purple also. It looked really pathetic. Kind
of like a sheepdog that has been shaved. They only used it for about 1 and
1/2 years as all of their help complained that it wasn't fast or easy to
drive. Every time I saw it I wondered if these folks had any shame at all.
Last I heard, the poor old beast was sold (and hopefully restored).
