Imagine that your main passion is cars of the fifties. The ones with a sofa in front, allowing you to go into the sunset in an embrace with your girlfriend. Now imagine that you have a collection of such cars, which means that you periodically have to deliver them to auto shows. A typical tow truck for this purpose is not comme il faut!
Using the technique of the fifties is also not an option. To transport rarities, you need a truck in a retro style, preferably with a modern filling! After all, exhibits have to be delivered, including over long distances. Just such an instance is described in a video published on the YouTube channel BRIGHT MACHINES | Auto RU. Dmitry Lemeshko, the owner of the Rockabilly Garage workshop, had the idea to cross a hedgehog and a snake. That is, to combine MAN, and vintage ZIL-130 and 157.
The result was a vehicle reminiscent of the retrofuturistic nuclear trucks from the Fallout computer game. But for those who still remember Soviet technology, the appearance of this "MANo-ZiL" causes cognitive dissonance. It seems to be a familiar plumage and cockpit, but combined in an unusual combination!
