found in a strange commercial district... parked outside where no one drives by to see it except a couple employees down the street

  1. Just found out that Truly Nolen is one of the largest pest control companies in the world. For years they have used VW Beetles modified to look like mice, with ears and tails, and a VW pickup called the Red Ant. The owners also have a fleet of antique cars, so this Studebaker is probably one of those. On the page below, there is an Isetta modified like a scorpion in the back of another VW truck.

    There are (as of 2022) 50 cars parked around Tucson with Truly Nolen painted on them. Maybe they are expanding this advertising to the San Diego area.

    1. Awww Marc, it's a drag to learn you didn't see my post on Truly Nolen https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2019/12/you-might-be-familiar-with-truly-nolen.html
      But that was 6 years ago. Damn, the time does fly by
      I didn't know about the Scorpion Isetta! Thanks!

    2. I probably saw that post, but I don't remember things as well as I used to. And there have been a lot of posts since then.

  2. The styling is elegant even on the old platform
