When I was there my official DOE guide told me it was a car driven by an “Okie” going to California to get away from the 1930’s drought in the mid-west. And now 15 years later it was a bomb test car.

No wonder few believe what comes out of the government....

Form my experience such publications are written by contractors who never set foot on the site, and worked from captions on "official" photos and notes.  The wooden wheel is an enigma--my guess is that is was part of a non-nuclear on the old Nellis bombing range.  The vehicle is in too good shape to have been in a nuclear test except at extreme ranges.

The NNSS (formerly NEvada Test Site) has released a compendium on their activities from 1951 onwards. I suppose they think it’s an honest history, but much of it reads like it was written by foreign students and researched by somebody who had never set foot on the NTS.

See the bottom of page 30 for a real  lie - The pictures car is a 1930-ear car with wooden wheels and roof parts. IF this were used in a bomb test hot enough to meal dials and plastic parts, why didn’t the wood burn?
