Advertising Genius: The Two-Headed Car

Hovering in the air above McLean's Auto Body & Paint, in Santa Barbara, Calif., is this car that is guaranteed to produce double takes. Apparently, it gets them all kinds of business.

"People know us," said a company spokesman. "They say, 'Oh yeah, you're that place with the two-headed car.'"

I was up in Santa Barbara recently visiting my son when I saw this car and couldn't help learning more about it...

Like, does it work?

"Sure," the spokesman said,  the owner used to drive all over town in it. Everyone knew him." Only problem was, he sometimes got into the back seat by accident. The car was created by taking two of the same cars, cutting them in half, and welding them back together.

While the car had a lot of fans, there was a cop in town that decided he wanted his picture taken giving a ticket to the driver of the two-headed car. "Then he laughed and tore the ticket up," the spokesman said.

So, guys, what kind of a car is this? Year, make and model please.
