46 woodie Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 cap, I'm located on the North Shore of Long Island, Nassau County. From what I understand there are two or three "mouse mobiles"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capngrog Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 46 Woodie, The reason I asked is that there was an exterminating company that was big in South Florida during the 70s and 80s. The name was "Truly Nolen", and they had VWs with the mouse ears, tail and buck teeth. The ears were spring mounted and would "streamline" when the car got up to speed (40 mph or so, I think). The company even had some box trucks done up in a mouse motif. I think that Truly Nolen is still around in South Florida, but for the past many years that I lived there, their vehicles were not much in evidence. As I recall, the owner of the company was a huge vintage (meaning pre-WWII) car fan and had quite a collection. I'm now 300 some odd miles north of Miami and glad of it. It's too crowded down there for me, and almost every drive is a "white knuckle" drive. Cheers, Grog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

46 woodie Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 WOW! the lobster car is cool. Couldn't drive it in NY because it would get a "Restricted View" citation. Looks like one of those old Sci-Fi movies, "The VW that was attacked by the giant lobster"! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

padgett Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I remember Truly Nolan, are really a lot of "clown cars". Wienermobile is probably the most famous (think one is in the Henry Ford) but also the Batmobile, and Mr. Beep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughing Coyote Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 They have Truly Nolan all over in Tucson. Still have the old cars all over town too. You see them everywhere. https://www.trulynolen.com/about/the-mouse-car.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like one of those old Sci-Fi movies, "The VW that was attacked by the giant lobster"! The view is not the only thing that is restricted. How does one even get into the car?
