When it comes to cigarettes, the more descriptors in the name, the more likely they are meant for women.  For example, Virginia Slims Ultra Light Menthol 120s are surely not something an XY human should ever buy.  This rule does not apply – in any way – to this car.  It is a 1931 Ford Model A 6-wheeled snow and mud track coupe.  That’s about as manly as it gets. 

This Model A is currently up for sale in Puyallup, Washington.  You might not know that you need it, but you need it.  It was converted for mud/snow use sometime in the 1930s, according to the seller, and was used to convey guests of the Northwood Club in Ishpeming Michigan on ice fishing and hunting forays in the Lake Erie area. 

More on this six-wheeled freak after the break. 

The stripped fenders, the flat black paint, and the shiny red spoked wheels add up to a fantastic look for this classic bit of history.  (Admittedly, it sounds fun to drop a hot small block in it and really have some off-road fun.) 

This A has all the options too. For example, the front-wheels-converted-to-snowmobile-skids option is included and pictured here. 

The A is seen here in environs not generally suited to Model A driving.  This mule can handle anything you throw its way.  You can even steer it through the standard wheel or through a skid-steer system.  Also, the owner claims that it runs like a “striped-a$$ed ape”, so there’s that too.

It is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen and completely unable to answer my question, “what the hell would I do with you?”  Find the ad here on ebay with an opening bid of $10k. 

 

Here’s hoping that it won’t get scooped up and converted to an ordinary hot rod.
