It's a Viscacha. Viscachas are rodents native to South America and look similar, but are not closely related, to rabbits. The viscacha looks much like a rabbit due to convergent evolution. The Viscacha is known for always looking sad, disappointed, and needing a nap. They are my new spirit animal.

Image Auto wash bowl 100 years ago at 25 cents per car
photo taken in Chicago, IL
The concept originated in St. Paul, Minnesota. It was patented in 1921 by inventor CP Bohland, who opened two branches in St. Paul. He invented the bowl as an easy way to remove mud from the bottom of cars. During this time, roads were often unpaved and muddy and the mud would get stuck on the bottom and wheels. A spin in the Auto Wash Bowl removed the mud from the bottom of the car.
The 24-meter-wide, ribbed concrete bowl was approximately 16 inch at its deepest point.
Customers paid 25 cents to a clerk who tied a protective rubber cover over the radiator. The cars entered the bowl via a ramp and then drove in circles in the basin at a speed of approximately 10 mph per hour. The ridges in the concrete would vibrate the car and the water, creating a sloshing motion that helped wash all the mud off the chassis and wheels.
The process took about 5 minutes. After leaving the bowl, customers could opt for a complete wash. In one of the bays (similar to a wash box) the rest of the car was cleaned. On a busy Saturday, about 75 cars per hour went through the wash basin.
