I remember the traffic in Cairo (1970s).
It was absolute chaos. They had "half-cars" driving around (front-wheel-drive cars, with the back end missing, and replaced with a rickety wooden cart; sometimes, just like a drag cart, with no wheels).
I'm curious about those half cars. So they start with a perfectly good car and cut off the back? Is that to carry more cargo or something?
Likely just got fwd cars cheap from being asspacked and totalled or rusting out bodies and shock mounts that arent worth fixing properly.
I suspect the frame rotted.
I was just a kid, so point of view was limited.
