Can't think of a better thread for this:


Preston Foster's custom vacation wagon 1939 Studebaker

Quote:
Foster's wagon had a distinctive ash-framed body customized for camping. Seats fold down to form a bed, and a tent could be raised on telescoping poles to enclose the rear and side of the car, exactly as your picture shows. It had air-conditioning, and a two-way short-wave radio. Opening the rear deck lid and rear 'doors' exposed "a sink with draining board, a gasoline stove, a refreshment cabinet [think liquor], shelves for supplies and a refrigerator. The latter was powered by a small gasoline motor situated behind the grille between it and the radiator. The motor also provided 110-volt power for the interior lights."
It appears to be a California ute. All it needs is a magnetic stick-on car door sign.
