57 Caddy motorhome

That Caddy is kool! Any idea how much it was selling for?

Help ID this Motorhome





Can anyone help me identify this. Title says 1962 house car. I know it is all aluminum body inline 6 with a 3 speed and dually rear end. Other than that I can find any info on it. My wife brought it home, I don't really want it so it may be for sale soon.

Cool

Must have been built by GM with the big chevrolet bow tie on front.Would probaby be easy to get parts for if it has chevy drivetrain.
Neat camper,I like it[dr

Never got to talk with the owner. I did talk to man that ran the storage yard. The wood camper is a sheep hearders camp. There were several around town . Some were basic shap but aluminum. I left the job before I was able to get other pictures.

i want a DIVCO bread truck real bad.
i think they look so cool.

I dint know they made a "bread truck" I've only seen the "milk truck" . Back in the day Dad had a customer at the shop, who drove a Divco milk truck , I thought it was ugly at the time, but now they're so cool !

Sweet thread.

Not ratty but very cool. 1973 Cadillac.


Also, not ratty and not really a camper but fits in.




And my buddy's old 64chevy 1-1/2 ton with an original Alaskan Camper on a custom utility box that he saved from the wreckers. I wish I coulda gotten it cause it woulda been slammed.

Great thread! I have always wanted an old short school bus. I have seen several turned into street rod RV's and tailgating rigs.
I also like the Divco milk trucks and old step-vans.
I drive a '36 Chevy ratrod pickup and started taking my granddaughter to shows when she was 2. It's almost 9 years later and grand #6 is due within a month. It would be great to load them all up and roll.

Don't really know if you would call it rat rod or not but it has some rat rodish accessories. The interior is all man cave, diamond plate countertops, diamond plate insert flat panel cabinet doors, corrugated pvc panels painted to look like galvanize on walls, and tons more. I had plans to make a shower out of a phone booth for it but now I want to sell it to get a CNC plasma table.

Usually I don't give advice on other peoples rides, but I think there's a few things you could do to make that a more interesting van. Right now it just looks like a van in primer to me.

Maybe drop the front, add bigger tires to the rear so it has some rake?
Maybe paint the wheels red or gold and lose the hubcaps?
Maybe old style mag wheels?
Maybe flames or some kind of paint design on top of the grey?
Maybe add exhaust out the sides or side pipes?
Call it a COE? lol
etc.

Just a few thoughts as I'm not to creative myself and of course its your so do it the way you want.
