    At one time it was a complete although barely drivable vehicle it could be driven in its straight as an arrow state but when trying to negotiate a turn it required a second driver located hidden in the rear of the vehicle. The panels at the connection that allowed it to bend had to be removed in order for it to bend but given a large enough turn around area it could actually be turned as a straight unit
    the car was loaned or leased for several promotional activities and eventually wound up in NJ in storage mostly stripped with several of the windows broken out. Now apparently it has been purchased again and is being restored

    Here is a link to how the car was built
    Not sure if the excerpt I found earlier about it bending was ever actually done

    WTF are we supposed to think of this bit of carp? At 0:55 there are only two axles at the apparent mid-point fifth wheel connection, but it rapidly reverts to four axles. Again, at about 2:27 it has only two axles, before reverting to four axles. And just before the end there is a brief two axle session.

    I think this whole show is a photo-shopped scam, and we shouldn't be wasting our time with this sort of carp!
