7. Rent Construction Equipment from a Giant Bulldozer: United Equipment, Turlock, California, USA



Do you need to buy or rent a piece of heavy machinery for a home remodel or a landscape project?
There could be no better place than this bulldozer-shaped office building in Turlock, California.
It is owned by United Equipment, a company that specializes in construction machinery.
Built in 1976, this office masquerades as a massive Cat D5 bulldozer and is 2-stories tall and 66-feet long.
Its giant scoop appears to be pushing a pile of rocks in its path.
Although it looks ready to move mountains, its offices inside are actually quite normal and sedate.

9 Buy Musical Instruments in the Body of an Acoustic Guitar: Grand Guitar, Tennessee, USA



Grand Guitar in Bristol, Tennessee bills itself as the "World's Only Guitar Shaped Music and Gift Shop."

 One of the first nationally distributed country music records- by the Carter Family and Jimmy Rogers- was made in this town in 1927, so it comes with history.
The building itself was built in 1983 and is 3-stories tall.
The guitar's sound holes are also its windows, and its strings are made of nylon rope
