If the Angel Gabriel Had a Truck....




Here's another unusual vehicle. This one was found while riding around Atlanta's west side a few years ago, with a friend to whom providence delivers such discoveries.

The fellows at this small garage had built a truck as the ultimate sonic platform. As you see, there are two big air compressors in the back to power an aggregation of mega-horns and whistles that you could only get at a Navy surplus sale. And in case that's not loud enough, a big bronze bell in front.

Imagine having this near a super-loud car thumping in traffic. It would be like brushing off a fly.

Getting There






Repurposed Lawnmower by Artist-Engineer "L A"

Jackson, Tennessee

Circa 1990

I'm guessing the giant fire extinguisher came in handy. And yes, that is a CB radio in the dashboard.
