the 55 up the top almost looks nice....
so many of them are ugly feral machines.
i have no doubt the designer of the 55 was sent by my toyota to the sahara to handfeed the lions. the only ugly cruiser made.

Yeah poor bloke would have died of boredom/thirst before he encountered the elusive Sahara Desert Lion.
But I agree, while I hate the 55 shape, that one looks pretty sweet.

That badge on the front must have been brand new at the time.
Looks great, at that time, that was pretty heavily modified.

im going to go out on a limb here and say that the rig in the pics that gq351 put up looks great. Its not ugly through my eyes, allthough I am bloody tired at the moment. Im not sure what it is but I have a soft spot for the 55s.
