The Roofless Gambo Beach Boy Car Features a Flatbed Deck for Sports Gear

— February 11, 2011 — Autos
Take the patio party with you on the Gambo Beach Boy Car -- and I say "on" because it defines the experience of driving this doorless, roofless off-roading automobile. Essentially a chassis with a deck built on top, this coast-loving car is open to refreshing ocean breezes.

Up to four seats can pop out of the wooden flatbed to accommodate a driver and three passengers. Well suited for surfers carting boards to the shore and back, the Gambo Beach Boy Car redefines the concept of "less is more."
