    I photographed this on Monday. It is a 1929 Studebaker "House Car." It is one of a kind, converted from a Studebaker bus.

    Here is a link to a YouTube video about it. I didn't shoot the video.

    I'll see your Studebaker... and raise you a Deutz.

    I've repaired Deutz diesels. They are used as auxiliary generators. Often, when a ship has more reefer containers than the ship's generators have the capacity for, they'll load some air cooled Deutz diesel generators on deck to compensate.

    We had a Deutz diesel in one of our fire engines back in the late 80s. I remember that it didn't do well in the application because it couldn't cool properly being confined in the enclosed in the engine compartment cowling.

    That is one BadA$$ roadster though.
