    The Pinto wagon was owned by a soldier who is now deceased. He put it into storage and never came back for it, when the shop called Fort Bragg he was told the guy died so there it sits.

    He said he was going to pull it out of the Kudzu but hasn't yet.
    I wish it was a panel wagon with a round window.

    Found this on a language translation site:

    Ford had a problem in Brazil when the Pinto flopped. The company found out that Pinto was Brazilian slang for "tiny male genitals". Ford pried all the nameplates off and substituted Corcel, which means horse.
