Boat-Truck

The truck isn't on top any longer. Now it's just a rusted boat.

Boat truck.

Boat-Truck

Someone decided to mate a boat with a truck -- or was it a truck with a boat? Anyway, they must've used a crane to accomplish this. There's some sort of "fan" on the back for "propulsion." It has been in this field since before 1976.
