This reminds me of the old Army Surplus stores we used to see back in the Midwest. My dad bought a generator from an Army Surplus store someplace in Missouri many, many years ago. (Late 50's early 60's?) We had a "camp" in the country in Illinois and he used the generator for power to our shell of a house out there. Well, that brought back memories. I had forgotten all about that camp and weekends we used to spend there.
"Honey, will you get that danged thing out of our front yard!?!" "Hey! That's it! I'll use it for advertising!! And I can keep my Halloween costume on it, too! Brilliant!"

That is a neat looking Army truck. Think I last saw it on a episode of MASH.

It certainly got my attention!!! :)
Impressionnante comme mascotte ;))
Very eye catching, wonder how much they will take for the gorilla?!
Eye-catching! It would get my attention, but not much more...
Quite odd, but it does get your attention!
'Ouch, this is gonna hurt."
*btw- you get a mention on my blog post today. Ever seen Blue Man Group?

Very peculiar!
If the Jeep doesn't get your attention, that big ape will.
I don't see the connection at all!

Great way to attract attention. Serving its purpose very well for sure!
Not sure if it's the army truck or the gorilla but it is an eye catching twosome for sure :)
I wonder if someone once owned that thing...
I bet it gets tons of attention!
Original advertising!
