PELT-MOBILE SPOTTED

A TAXIDERMY truck spotted in America’s Deep South could be the most gruesome wagon on the road.With a stuffed bob-cat looking creature riding on the roof with the pelts of a racoon, ground hog and even a frog swilling Jack Daniels whiskey next to an alligator this Ford pickup has at least 50 dead carcasses hanging from its bodywork. The Confederate-flag decorated machine was spotted by amazed photographer Diane Dodd, 43, as she pulled into her local store in Savannah, Georgia. She described how surprised on-lookers reacted to being confronted with such a grimly decorated vehicle while they were out doing their grocery shopping.
