Have you ever been to Dade City, Florida? They obviously love Mopars there as this is parked at the visitor center/train depot.
Cities in Florida use all kinds of props to attract tourists: free orange juice, aligator wrestling, pecan brittle, my cousin went to Florida and all I got was this stupid T-shirt T-shirts, glass-bottom boat rides, weird upside down houses, airboat rides, mud bogs, live Manatees, snake-charmers, fountains of youth, and Ripley's museums . . . but I digress.
The best prop I've seen so far, however, has to be the Dodge Monaco station wagon at the Dade City train depot/tourist center. This car is a work of art, filled with strangely frightening manequins and oranges, and with the appropriate luggage on the roof, capturing the tone of early Florida tourism. I'm not sure what engine this car has in it, but if it's a big-block I'll give them $250 for it without the creepy manequins.
