Note: I posted here because I did not know where else to put it.

Someone sent me this note with pictures.It's amazing how things have changed in 75+ years.
I bet they did not have a shower!


1937 Packard Motor Home

Photos taken at Sycamore State Park near Malibu, CA. It was the only one built. The couple standing by it are the owners.

He bought it for $16,000 about 10 months ago. It had been in a garage for many many years.

He polished and waxed it and put on a clear coat of paint.

Did some minor engine work.

He has been offered $300,000 and didn’t take it.

The RV hall of fame museum in elkhart also has some vintage vehicles such as this on display. We went there last summer, and really enjoyed the display units of all types. This pre dates anything I am familiar with.
