    Dodge tow truck?

    I like the Cuda' wagon better without the attempted Daytona nose.

    If the junkyard artist had never seen the 'Cuda, he might never have come up with the idea to copy it

    You mean one of those see-through Chastidy Cabs. Back then, women tended to wear skirts. So, you'd likely not see drivers of those trucks pick up women in those things, otherwise if she forgot to wear a slip that day, too many oncoming drivers would not keep their eyes on the road which would have been good for insurance companies and collision shops, to name a few
