The Rise & Fall of the Avocardo

The Avacardo had a brief brush with fame a few years ago when it was featured in a commercial for Subway Sandwiches.  It only appeared for a second or two but it made a big impact on viewers...or maybe just me....

You can see its quick (and as far as I know only) appearance here:

I was never sure if this was just a prop for the commercial or an actual working vehicle.  But if Subway was smart they would have gotten this thing on the road ASAP...and maybe team up with the Guac Mobile!

A year or two later this one-of-a-kind beauty was put up for sale.  News broke on the Autoevolution website with pics from the Craigslist listing:

Looks like the glory days are well behind the Avocardo.  It's got some slight bruising and is well past its ripe stage.  But I think all it needs is a little TLC (and lemon juice) and I bet that it would be a great project for a guacamole enthusiast.

Here is the actual listing (UPDATE: I guess it sold.  The add has been taken down).  Feel free to make an offer.  Thanks, once again to Uncle Frank for the heads up!
