This is amazing. I see this truck driving down MY STREET.
It turns out my neighbor just bought an identical one yesterday to this....only a 1962. He said that they only imported 2000 per year into the US......making these rare from the get go

So ttt for this vehicle. The 1962 version is identical and looks way cool as this one does !!!!!!!!!!!

beautiful rig...

Marlin Perkins, forgot about him,wasn't that show in black & white on TV., good one. The 1959 is slightly different but essentially the same.
The roof unbolts but it is too difficult for me to do now. I have a few pictures of the interior. I have reached my limit for pictures it seems so cannot post.

Yes, it was Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom with Marlin Perkins and his sidekick Jim. Their films were usually in Africa.
Cool stuff way back in the day.
They drove a Land Rover as I recall

Prerunner to the Crocodile Hunter......RIP
