Agreed...my google fu is has blocked chakras.

*EDIT....typed too soon. Still no info on who/what/why...but more pics. The fender skirts hide the tires fairly well.

Another page with speculation and more pictures.

Speculation there is that it's some sort of trailer towing rig.

Oddly enough, this one actually makes more sense to me:

I just got off the phone with the guy, he says it's in a warehouse right now but will be out next weekend- I made it clear I just wanted to photograph and find out how it works, to get a little more info out about it and hopefully help him find a buyer. He said that's OK with him, so I'll hopefully have some pics of it up next Saturday.

I guess I'm left wondering why the third axle wheels are so immense. Maybe hubcaps would make them look more proportional, but that's neither here nor there.

That thing is ODD. I wonder what the motivation was.

I've seen that Olds airport limo (not that specific one) online a couple of times over the years. I think once on here, even. Too awesome for words.

not really, it is the same size, just lacking a cover makes it look all over bigger.

That said, I imagine that they could have used a smaller tyre for the extra weight capability as it did not need to be driven around on 24/7

Hold a ruler up to your computer screen, they ain't the same size. The rears are a good bit larger.

Now it could be that the rims are the same size, and he's just oddly got a massive set of tires on the rear. For they do look too large for the wells.

And when I go way back to my hazy days of drugs sex and rock and roll, wasn't this 6 wheeled notion kind of a craze back then? Seems to me there were some conversions made by companies. This might be one of them, in which case factory could refer to the conversion company.
