      I like it's current name 1937 Himsl Zeppelin Roadliner... (one of a kind)
      Other historical documentation found this to be previously registered as a 1942 - Plymouth House Car =D

      Great shots of this very rare vintage RV... an instant Fave!

      Here's the info I dug up on this vehicle.

      I remember seeing this in Street Rodder magazine, I believe it was Art Himsl that was rebuilding it, but people calling it a 1937 always bothered me because the headlight rings are 1940 Ford Deluxe, the front fenders are 1940 Ford rear fenders, and the rear fenders are 1948 Ford truck rear fenders, so it's all a lot newer then what they call it...

      Would you mind if I posted some notes on it identifying the parts involved?

      I don't mind at all. I have more pics of this that I didn't post, I think I'll dig them up. I really had know idea what this was just thought it was cool looking. And it was the end of a very long day and I was kinda fading energy-wise! It was in really good shape and looked quite comfortable inside too. I'll post em up later tonight...

      ...I guess adding notes is disabled.

      Even if there are "later" add-ons fabricated into this vehicle, it doesn't matter. The registries will ask you for a vehicles proper serial #no.
      Sure some people do this to a vehicle, but it doesn't change it's true year.
      Already it's a rarity and/or a one of a kind..!!

      Dave, I would appreciate seeing more photos of this rare vintage RV. It's a piece of Automotive History you've captured.
      Most people would never get the chance to see something like this, not alone on Flickr! Thanks for showing what images you have so far... Cheers! =D

      Feel free to add these photos to the rare cars group.
