Zom-B13: Zombie Outbreak Mobile Battalion #13
Owner/Driver: Jesselee Leachman
A car project born from boredom became more than just an attraction in Pendleton, Oregon. Its helped families and children of all ages have a different kind of fun from the "Old West" theme of town. Zom-B13 has aided families struggling for the holidays, helped at-risk youth with safe and healthy activities, and has set out to accomplish much more as time goes on. Thank you all for joining me on this little adventure of mine. It went from being *just* a black car to a bad ass Zombie Outbreak Response Vehicle squadron/battalion that continues to keep the community safe from the zombie threat. September 2020 we added a Tactical Response Vehicle, a 1995 Nissan Pathfinder that we call "ZombieFinder". December 2024 saw the retirement of the original Zombie First Responder, the 1998 Oldsmobile Aurora, due to a blown head gasket. June 2025 began a new chapter as a new vehicle, a 2008 Ford Mustang, joined the battalion. This would begin to tell our story as a division of the fabled Umbrella Corporation. Well then you’re welcome.”
