hamb friendly motor homes? can we start a pic thread?

Bob Rowsell's Flxible from El Cajon, California


My sister's 53 Chevy short bus

 

And the Family 1940 GMC Yellowcoach converted in the 70s

 

not really HAMB friendly but vintage

 

Another cool one...

 

here´s one custom.....

 

If I remember correctly, Bob built that flxible too!

 

I remember this one from a previous thread, can anyone supply any more info on it? it's so twisted.... I might have to have it.

 

I have seen a pic somewhere where that thing is sitting in a wrecking yard rotting away. Surely there can't be two of them.

 

I think the GM Future Liner would deffinitely be my pick if I ever won the lotto...

 

just picked up this 1952 gmc old metro bus orig it had a gas 6 banger and a auto 2 speed

 

COOL!!! I knew they were out there.. I now have the 305 sitting in the back of my camry.. just gotta find a cherry picker to get it out lol

 

flynstone: thats a big ass bus to be powered by a small block.. whats that thing weigh? 10,000?
and
rivi: isnt that red and white flxible from the movie RV?

 

This one was rescued and now looks like this...

 

Here are a couple floating around in my photo file.

 

Anyone want to see the build pic's of Russ's Tourliner, check out this link. VERY COOL

This was taken to the dump

 

that yellow one is done right.. that old shasta fits in quite well with the lines of that truck

 

This is some funny shit, best thread I've seen in a while!! Four pages and no nasty comments yet!

 

I bought a 85 chevy short bus with Lift in it.Which i will built into a RV to hall my 64SS with. I'll try and get some pics.

 

Only partially correct. The term "motorhome" came around about that time, but the "house car" concept actually goes back to the teens.

Some of these folks look like they were smoking wacky weed when they built these...

 

1937 Ford Housecar

 

A guy gave me this one apperently it was made back when it was new.

 

They maybe a little touch off the wall,But hey they work right. lol

Man....I love those art-deco styled '40's and
50's-vintage Flxible Clippers! My 'when I win
the lottery' (yeah, right!) dream conversion
would be a Flxible Clipper, on a custom-built
chassis, with full air-ride, polished 22.5 Alcoas
and an ex-'Navy minesweeper spec'. aluminum
block, heads and non-magnetic crank and
rods' 6V53T Detroit - but cranked to about 400 hp
and hooked to a 7-speed Allison automatic!!!

not just the term, it's when they started producing them, like I said conversions should be cool which is what you will mainly find in HAMB friendly years, buses or truck conversions but not actual motorhomes

either way folks have posted some cool stuff, carry on
