Forwarded to me by a friend.
"Is this not just about the coolest thing you have ever seen. Check out those huge turn signals and the home protection device hanging on the back wall.

Sycamore State Park on PCH. It was the only one built. The couple standing by it are the owners.
He bought it for $16,000 about 10 months ago. It had been in a garage for many many years.
He polished and waxed it and put on a clear coat of paint.
Did some minor engine work and it started right up.
It has 40,000 miles on the speedometer.
He was offered $300,000 but didn't take it."

I'm sorry,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,but did you say $300,000?

donrent Loc: Punta Gorda , Fl

I HIGHLY doubt the $300 offer also...

Orginally a "motor home" ???? Doubt that also...

Kinda looks like a Herse to me thats been "converted"....

Very cool. Who knew how the motor home would evolve.

Ol' Frank Loc: Orlando,

Way cool! Would love to pull up in a "tourist Court" in one of those. Who else remembers "Tourist Courts" from the 30's?

I agree,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Packard Motor Home? Naaa, i doubt it. I'll bet the potential buyer and the potential seller really have some interesting stories to tell each other in that home.

No, i don't mean the Motor Home, i mean the the Insane Asylum. I'm thinking that's where they both are.

With a little research, You'll also find that Packard made a "motorhome" as early as 1917.

Wow. Thanks for sharing. I bet that would go for more than that at auction. Specially since it was one of a kind. :thumbup: :thumbup:
