Perfect Car For Burnouts

Thanks to Boing Boing for posting this item about a reproduction of a 1947 "Zippomobile."  According to the post, Joe Griffin of right here in Memphis, Tennessee, recreated this "productmobile" (e.g. Oscar Meyer Wienermobile or Hershey's Kissmobile) without any plans of the originals, using only photos and a 1947 Chrysler New Yorker Saratoga.
