    For information regarding any possible real-world connection to the camper shell, maybe contact the RV/Motorhome (industry) Hall of Fame Museum in Elkhart, IN. Is the camper included with the El Camino based on any particular prototype? I always thought it seemed a bit...cramped looking.

    I was there in 2017. These are the only pictures I have ready to post. I still have a couple-hundred more to do, eventually...

    Maybe R/V industry people can tell you can whether they recognize the design. https://www.rvmhhalloffame.org/rv-founders-hall/

    I recall someone in a large scale model railroad forum complaining that there were not enough 1:20 vehicle kits to go with the model trains in that scale. Funnily enough, there used to be a line of 1:20 scale Ford Model T truck "craftsman kits" in addition to the Hubley/Gabriel diecast kits in that scale.

    DAF car carrier shown here in 1961. I wonder if those are plastic promo model cars, baking in the sun. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Daf_truck_met_oplegger_met_DAF_personenautos_in_Madurodam_vliegveld_Schiphol,_Bestanddeelnr_912-2630.jpg (Large imager file)

    This video is by a company that produces similar ones of model railroad layouts in various scales around the world. Note the animated vehicles. Just about everything is built from scratch at the park.

    Some cool diorama/display inspiration here. Camping and boating in the 1950s with Ford wagons. https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=uiug.30112000731189&view=thumb&seq=1

    Fun thread. I happen to be wearing a Studebaker truck T shirt. ?

    My '38 Ford "Van" is interesting. The components are rather nice, and would be good for kitbashing. While the chassis and fender units do seem to be 1:24 scale, the body itself seems undersized for some reason.

    I heard the song "Panopticom" on the radio recently, a college station, so it's getting a little airplay.

    Wild's out of Princeton, Ill. First I found the image on eBay, then the slideshow video on YouTube.

    Several years ago I picked up a resin '57 panel truck, maker forgotten.

    The thread did explain the graphic, and yes the project never came to fruition. It's been over a decade now. From the time when there were rumors of useable JoHan tooling.

    This old Greek mechanical object didn't age well....

    Years ago when I was part of the folk open mike scene I had heard of places that were rather competitive, though those that I frequented were always friendly and supportive.

    Steve is from Massachusetts, and years ago he was involved with one or two model shows here. I once won a copy of his DVD on building 1:1 altered wheelbase cars. He is a cool guy.
