Spotted in Fremont: VW Painter’s Van

Art car, taxi cab, ladder truck? Hard to tell what this rig’s primary purpose is, but it’s clear somebody uses it for something, even if it’s just scaring neighborhood kids or trying to reassure customers that no, the guy who showed up to paint your house is not in fact an axe murderer (good luck with that). Nice touches throughout, including plastic flowers, a rubber rat tunneling into the spray-foam insulation that’s been shot into the rusty rocker panels, and a grotesque pirate mannequin riding shotgun. Sometimes, all you can do is scratch your head and enjoy the view. More pics below the jump!
