I wonder if our resident Holland, Michigan guy was behind this?

Outpost Store, Holland, Michigan - why is this here and not on the road?  Blasphemy.

Wow, looks like that's a running, driving example and not just a gutted prop.. Booo indeed..

If you own the car and the store, seems like that's a good way to write off a lot of taxes.

Evidence of being a running example - or at least having an engine:

It does need turn signal lenses.

Back in the 60s, we parked a mini in the store where I worked for a couple  of weeks to attract attention.

It didn't make a lot of sense, it was a drugstore.

The Mini is probably claiming its spot for the winter.

You can buy this VW bus display in RVA for $1k.

It's a panel van.  There's like five days a year where a vehicle with that much interior space to heat (with the anemic BMC heater) and/or cool (with only half a window opening) is comfortable to drive.  At least it's on display and not locked away in a garage..

Looks like 10" Wolfrace wheels, they're worth a ton without the van.

Never realized how good an old-school Mini looks with a roof carrier like that.

Somewhat related to the thread: A new location for a local coffee chain opened up downtown. It's not my picture, but there's the front end of a Mahindra Roxor inside.

years ago there was a clothing chain store that had old 50s-60s pickups in the stores , it might have been Millers Outpost....

the trucks had the motor / trans pulled and fluids removed ,

There was a mad rush when that company changed plans and started selling off the trucks , 

I forget what forum it was on , but people were letting others know which stores still had pick-ups in "stock"
