    This reminds me of the US Navy's land tug, used to haul decommissioned nuclear submarine reactors from barges on the Columbia River to their open grave at the Hanford Site.

    One of these was tailgating me on the freeway the other day. I wouldn't let him pass. Sorry nerds for delaying your astronomical voyeurism.

    ...and if the antenna isn't perfectly level on its foundation, in an easily-accessible storage bay is a wide selection of shims accompanied by a rather large hammer....

    Why do high school guidance councellors never point you towards careers like these? I'd have done my damn homework if someone had told me I could get a job delivering giant-ass antennas to the Andes.

    Meh, this isn't anything you can't find in any random rural WVA back yard.

    In its native Britain, the rear side windows would indeed have made this a Hillman Husky rather than a Commer Cob, but it seems that the Rootes Group had a habit of playing fast and loose with some of its model names outside of English-speaking markets. For the record, the Husky was a two-door wagon version of the Hillman Minx, which was available in sedan, convertible and 5-door wagon versions. The Sunbeam Rapier was a 2-door hardtop version, but with a hotter engine and an upright radiator grille. All were designed by Raymond Loewy, which is why they look a little like shrunken Studebakers.


    Whether it's a Commer or a Hillman, I'm totally down with this little wagon. I'll replace the 1390cc engine with an aluminum-headed 1725cc version from a late Sunbeam Alpine (less weight up front and around twice the power) and go rallying.
