A very unique item. It's located not far from me and it's my guess that it probably came out of either the defense plant that was once nearby or one of the suppliers to GM Lordstown.

The master cylinder in it is the same as 47-50 KF.

This would be a real head turner at the auto shows if it had a reworked blown 350 for power. :P

Kalazamoo is a city in Southwestern Michigan that was once the home of Checker cars.  This company made industrial trucks to be used for carrying heavy items on the floor of factories.  It was useful at about 5 mph but wouldn't be much fun to drive off of the smooth concrete floor of a factory. This one would certainly be an easy restoration but I'll bet it is really heavy!
