1913 Russobalt Type-Kegresse
1939–1946. Total 33 840 units were produced. This truck is powered by gas generator that used firewood (or coal) to produce gas that powers the engine. Because of this it has low power and speed, it is difficult to service and not so easy to start up. But because the lack of gasoline in some north regions this truck was indispensable.
Yag -12 all four front tires steer, 1932 to 1941
Produced 1949–1953. This interesting car is kind of GAZ-M20 Bobeda based six seat minivan
This is a 1956 4 wheel drive airplane towtruck, and can be switched to just front wheel drive. (only 13 made)

Doesn't that make you smile?
Must be owned by a diver, or a really innovative customizer
What better way to show pedestrians where the bus stop is? 
See a gallery of the above South carolina prison bus rat rod at John's: http://oleragtop.blogspot.com/2009/11/yeah-turkey-rod-run-is-coming-this.html
The above green car... looks like a new idea in rat rods, take a newer than 1960 vehicle and made a rat rod from it by getting rid of all the body work forward of the firewall. This one looks like a Buick, but I can't recall the model
I don't think I've ever seen a rod quite like this, unless you count the early dragsters from the 50's that were using a long wheel base chassis to set back the body for weight transfer to aid traction. 
Wow. I think I posted a photo of this one before, I think it's a Seagrave roadster ... how cool are the various cans to the back of the gas tank?!
