The U.S. Border Patrol says to be on the lookout for a RED 1952 Chevy they suspect is being used to smuggle illegal aliens into the U.S. from Mexico. If you see the vehicle pictured below, you are urged to contact your local Police or the Border Patrol. Thank you for your assistance. 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)

So Wade, you're sayin' this Chevy is methane-powered then?
(...hmmmm...I didn't know they had NGP-powered cars as far back as '52!...must've been retro-fitted, I suppose)

Looks like something out of an early 50's SciFi thriller.

I don't think it would get very far ... looking at the different directions they're all pointing I'm guessing 'teamwork' wasn't high on anyone's priority  The two 'blokes' front left and front right also only appear to have one leg each! How's that work I wonder?   .

Well I 'spose they should go to an alignment shop, 'cause it looks like the toe-in is way off.

Keith, sounds like you're tryin' to play off the ol' Three Stooges and Abbott/Costello "Niagara Falls" comedy routine there. (...you remember, the one that went: "Slow I turned, step by step!")
