    I was just thinking "Dang, that's the most stuff I have EVER seen in a Gremlin". That explains it.

    I'm surprised there was any room for a driver, when I first saw it!

    I just saw an episode of 'Emergency!' yesterday, and they had to use the JOL; as Chet hopped up on the squad to pull it out, he had it turned so HURST was quite visible. And you can tell, he purposefully turned it for that.

    I'll have to hop on the LACFD Museum website, see if this honking chonker is in the collection.

    It's either a funeral flower car or an auxiliary hose car with the fire department, but I can't tell which, the roof is too indistinct. I'd like to say it has a gumball machine, but I just can't tell.
