    Its in the garage for the winter now.. I'm going to refurb and repaint it in original colors.

    Now all I need to do is find a retro funky late 60's wagon to pull it with (y)

    I've seen a few of those with the overhead front bunk, but they've been a bit shorter than yours.

    I'm going to suggest something a bit outside of our usual station wagon selections. How about a TravelAll This one's a '67....

    That's a nice little RV and both of those tow vehicles would look great. However a 1967 station wagon would be more appropriate for a wagon lover.
    Be sure to check tincantourists.com while you are day dreaming.

    I'm familiar with TCT.. I've loved vintage campers for years.

    I've got an old Shasta that I gutted, reframed and then built the inside from birch for that older amber glow inside..

    I like both of those trucks, but a station wagon is more of a 'fit' to these under 20' campers I think..

    Found this picture of a cool 67 Pontiac wagon..

    At this point I'm just daydreaming about what could be.. I've got a winters worth of refurbing ahead of me to make the camper look great again~

    Congrats Kev. We see a lot of vintage trailers throughout the year and I have seen only one other identical to yours. They are really unique trailers. Very few have survived. Glad you are doing a restoration.

    We redid a '67 TravelAire years ago that was birch and polished aluminum inside and it was really enjoyable.

    That Poncho wagon would look great as a tow vehicle. Those are the vehicles that towed these vintage trailers when they were new and they just work so well together.

    A buddy had an early sixties Travelal that he put a 440 in and it was a very reliable tow vehicle. He sold it for something else and is regretting that move now. Latest we've heard is he's tracking down a Buick or Olds vista cruiser style to tow a '65 trailer he's rebuilt.

    Lots of fun..............

    I love that Shasta and it would match my Chevy wagon and my panel truck. Have a sweet spot for those because my dad and his friend sold those new.
