somename ◊ 2014-04-09 21:20	Someone driving from the right side is an optical illusion?

(but note how hard it is to see in the actual Ute photo above) Reflection blocks LHD side except for a frame at 7:45 which might show a driver. You'd have to watch in real time to get the impression. Also: in real time, it looks like a 4dr sedan. The truckbed illusion is given by a darker car w/white top ('55 or '56 Ford?) traveling behind the Chevy on the outside lane of opposing traffic beside the two-toned '56 Chevy. It'd be the find of the series if this were indeed a 1950 Chevrolet Holden Ute, but the odds of that are infinitesimal. -- Last edit: 2014-04-12 00:35:13
