I thought it might be fun to start a thread about cars that are used for things other than their original intent - i.e., the transportation of people and their things from one location to another. There are a lot of pictures in circulation of cars used as shelters, as sculptures, as architectural elements, and more. 

I'll start the thread with this vehicle pressed into service as a vegetable garden.

Please add some of your own.  :)

This last boat almost looks like it had its original roof - a very good job!

I´d say this could be the roof of a BMW 700 Coupé ?

What car is the roof on the boat taken from?

I'd say Lancia Fulvia Coupé... and it's not strange it fit so well on a boat... the design of the Fulvia Coupé took inspiration from period boats like Riva...  :)
