Illustrations on the side of the rapidly-decaying Shuttle indicate that it was once used in a "Hot Rod" show of some sort.

At one time the Shuttle advertised the painted names of local businesses on its rear fenders. Maybe it had a previous life as a parade float.

Riding my motorcycle on country roads, I was surprised when I came upon this space shuttle in a field. Someone did quite a nice job on this.
