You think that's ugly, how about this poor Land-Rover that is neither fish nor fowl, Normal Control or Forward Control, from 1961....note the same idea as the Chevs, namely to create what they called semi-Forward Control in the Thirties.
The type of semi-FC was achieved on Luton-built Chevrolets and Bedfords from around 1930. There were a few companies that did such conversions including BAICO PATENTS LIMITED of London.
