Skeuomorphism Gone Wild

This truck’s home base seems to be south of Maloney on Rt 376 and it occasionally passes me on the road:

Farmers and Chefs Food Truck

My eye-blink reaction that it was a junker turns out to be completely wrong, as it sports a really great paint job (vinyl wrap?):

The junker aspect may not be quite what they expected…

I’m not sure that’s skeuomorphic, but I don’t know the proper term.

    Not quite correct either maybe, but that’s the other term:

      Ah! That’s much better.

      Congrats for finding the Unicode ligature, too…
