Fun fact: In the 1990s, there was a Brazilian joke band called Mamonas Assassinas and they had a song called 1406, the exact number of this cart. Here is an approximate English translation of the song's lyrics, but sadly much is lost because of what they did, including cross-language puns and a truckload of references. I recall reading somewhere that the title itself is the reference to some phone number related to buying things, though I sadly don't remember the specifics anymore. Anyway, it's a funny song for Brazilians and winning this cart reminded me of it, so I thought I'd share. :)
On a sadder note, their career was explosive but very brief, because they were around for just like a year or maybe two (I'm not sure, would have to check) and soon all died in a plane crash that was considered a national tragedy. But their work remains and they're still remembered fondly for it.
Thank you! :D
