Car pics too cool not to share

I actually saw this trailer (one like it, not this particular one) a couple of times back in the day. Always drew a crowd. There's another picture floating around the 'net of a similar setup with a VW Bug as the tow vehicle - a single axle "third wheel". I never saw *that* one in person. I was more into:
Or even:
Pics from the shop this morning, a 1965 Rolls Royce Silver Cloud and a 1961 Chrysler 300 Station Wagon, both like new inside and out. New brake drums for the Rolls cost $1000 each from England or you can get aftermarket ones for about $700 each..
OP
Bet that 454 helped out a bit! If the guy really wanted to garner some attention, he would've tried that set-up with a convertible!
Or how about this one, the love child of an Airstream trailer and a Toranado:

I watched the YouTube video of the kid who just bought this, and drove it home. No heat in the middle of winter, and a break-down along the way (axle shaft, if'n I recall correctly). Or maybe it was one just like it...?

I actually got to see one of these when I was about 10. I was with my dad & we went to a car lot that had one and we test drove it.

Hmmm, I'm not sure but to me that roofline looks more like a "58 hearse or ambulance body to me...
But I could be wrong...
It screams Superior Coach body to me ! I really didn't think anyone else would notice ( or care ).

Interesting what pops up when you google something... (1958 Superior Coach)
Just a couple more of these examples and we could start our own red neck Good Sam club !!
I dig it. But a more period correctish rear fender would really make it though.
As for dually rear fenders, I like these, and I don't like these. I'm conflicted...

Always thought those rear fenders looked like an afterthought.

Have you forgotten the audience you're dealing with? Of course we care!
