I wonder if anyone ever actually used those picnic tables.
I can't picture it.  If there were two people in the car they would have to get out and get in the back seats to eat. If there were four people, the back seat passengers would be OK, but what would the front seat passengers do? Eat off their laps?

A Princess with strange bumper additions. A works extra, an aftermarket item or a private creation?
