Motor Car Dragons Help Earn a Living for Their Owners<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nThe two dragons, built in imitation of prehistoric dinosaurs, are made of plywood and mounted on both sides of a small sedan. When the car moves the dragons move their heads up and down, open and shut their jaws, and move their feet in a life-like manner.

The vehicle is rented out to attract attention to processions, and for similar purposes.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
