A new kind of puzzle to keep you busy.

Please name the car and tell us what is special about it, and what it is used for.

If you're new around here, remember that you have to register before you can post your answer.

A '56 Chevy.

Looks like it was camouflaged like they used to do with pre production testing.


Maybe this was at the Mesa Testing Grounds in Arizona, that is closing?

Camouflaged 56 Chevy it is.
The rest isn't correct. I lock this one for you 72 hours. You can do better.
