Massive 1950 Dodge Power Wagon built by the "Rainbow Sheikh"

18:22  Unknown   Labels: , , , , ,


I was recently sent this video about the worlds largest 1950 Dodge Power Wagon built out in the middle of Arabian desert.It weighs about 50 tons, its 64 times the original size and was so big it had to be built in the desert from about 25 major parts made in Abu Dabi. It's big enough to live in and has a master bedroom in the main upstairs cab. The tail gait lowers with a motor to make a balcony with an incredible view of the desert.It has wheels from a large oil rig, windshield wipers from a ocean liner and headlights that cost $1,500 each. This behemoth was built by Sheikh Hamad bin Hamdan Al Nahyan aka The Rainbow Sheikh who is a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
