Automotive equivalent to the duck billed platypus.
Biggest difference is that people actually go out of their way to see a duck billed platypus.
Outstanding. Power everything with cloth seats and a manual! Two things stand out. #1 – Where is the radio antenna? Did this thing come from factory with a window diversity antenna? #2 – Power everything with cloth seats, manual, diesel, and remote fuel door and trunk release; could this have been a taxi spec? That might also explain the lack of antenna.
