RV Roadside Delight
This Woody passed me on the freeway and there was no way I was going to catch him, so I just admired this American classic as it vanished in the distance.
I decided to pull into the next rest-stop and there waiting for me was this fine automobile. That's the thing about RVing, you never know when you'll see something interesting on the road.
Just look at that marvelous woodwork - now that's craftsmanship. The lines on this car are stunning and back then it was made without lasers or robot welders.
Here it is, a one car auto-show at a rest-stop. RVing is all about the journey and the life enhancing encounters you have along the way. You never know when you'll meet and make a new friend, see something you've never seen before, or like this day, something from the past.
The nostalgic magic evoked fantasies of surfboards, swimsuits and sand. Beach Boys music began to echo in my brain and, well.... it was a good vibration! "Lets go surfin now, Everybodys learning how, Come on and safari with me" - Jim Twamley, Professor of RVingLabels: RV Lifestyle

Jim, I don't see a way to email you on your blog so I'm using this comment slot. I see it won't go to the page and this doesn't belong there. Anyway I read your blog on the weekend through the RV site and thought you might like to see what they have done to the old hippy van. I ran across this yesterday and it knocked my socks off. Hybrid even! They have a tiny video on the bottom right side. http://www.verdier.ca/

Neat car! I wonder what it will look like when they get it out of the crate.

I worked for a fellow, Jimmy Delory, at Orleans Mobilgas, Orleans, MA, in 1952 that had one of these. Wow, does this bring back memories.. Thanks, Buzz
