Description

The Mutt Mobile is a hot-rodded dog truck released in 1971 and designed by Larry Wood. It features an exposed motor and exhaust pipes, control stick steering, and a rear compartment to transport dogs in. The rear compartment has a opening door which reveals two white dogs.  The rear compartment and interior are loosely fit and are suseptible to falling out, thankfully it can be replaced with parts from the 1994 retooled version which are more readily avaliable and far less valuable. The 1971 version came packaged with a plastic collectors button.

The Mutt Mobile was re-released in 1973 under a new name, Odd Job. The Odd Job could only be found in enamel and flourescent colors. It was also manufactured in Mexico by CIPSA.

In 1994, the Mutt Mobile was retooled for the 1994 Vintage Series II after a 31 year absence.
