Off Center: Asymmetry Game

DT faithful, here is the name of the game:  Simply find cars that have asymmetrical (off-center) bulges or ducts on them.  These are generally for cooling, air intake or clearance, but they could be ornamental. No after-market parts, please. Provide the make & model and post a sample pic in the comments. Below is an example of each:

8X8 Twister: 1975 Lockheed Dragon Wagon

If you are in the market for a tough off road vehicle for zombie apocalypse survival (or whatever...maybe you commute in south side Chicago rush hour traffic?), people are going to tell  you that you need a 4X4...but those folks are dead wrong.  It just isn't enough wheels on the ground.  Maybe 6X6?  Gettin' closer, but that still isn't enough.  What you need is this 1975 Lockheed Dragon Wagon 8X8 offered for $14,250 in Hayward, CA via craigslist.  Tip from Kaibeezy.
