So when I get a chance I stop by the Vair Shop. There is always something interesting being worked on. I stopped by today to fix a tire on my Durango and pick up a battery for my Jeep. This is what was around.

1954 Nash Statesman - Body by Pininfarina!

L-Head 6-Cylinder

1932 American Austin

1973 Volvo P1800ES

Porsche 914

1964 Corvair Monza Coupe, 1966 Corvair Corsa Coupe, 1957 Thunderbird

Austrian Haflinger 6x6 Prototype

The inlaws were in town with thier 1975 "Palm Beach" edition GMC Motorhome, towing their Yugo.

Always a fun time.

I hope the bicycles strapped to the back of the urban assault vehicle are some brand that's equally as obscure.

Actually, those surviving GMC motorhomes have quite a following, underground following, but very avid fans. From what I've read they drive like a large car, not a large truck or other RV of the time. There were 26, 28, and I think a 30-ish foot versions made. Quite cool. Towed vehicle, too:

There's one for sale on my way home. $2500? I think. But, it's not green.
