Great looking vehicles, thanks for posting. Minor detail: what they called a '52 Buick Riviera is a Roadmaster. The Riviera wasn't introduced until '63.

I had a '65 English Ford Cortina. I think that image was posed, as I have strong doubts the 1500 cc 60 hp Cortina could move such a large trailer, much less haul it anywhere. I can almost smell the clutch burning.

Thanks, takes me back to when I was a kid, just looked but couldn't afford to camp that way. Now much older and having been there and done that I have to say that today for comfort and ease of travel I much prefer the motel. Great set of history.

These are great looking caravans with fabulous motor cars.
They are better looking than to-days offerings.
I will have the "1947 Custom Buick Sedanet with Matching Trailer".
Thank you for the link.

from Wikipedia:
The Buick Riviera is a personal luxury car produced by Buick from 1963 to 1999. GM's first entry into that prestige niche, the Riviera was highly praised by automotive journalists upon its high-profile debut. While early models stayed close to the original form, subsequent generations varied substantially over the Riviera's thirty-year lifespan. In all, 1,127,261 were produced.
Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I live in the country, so I never did understand weekend camping. To me, it was like moving to town. And, I kept thinking about all the nice hotels one could stay in for the price of a camper. But that's just me.
My idea of "camping", after spending many years in the bush back in Africa, is a Five Star Hotel! Apr 25, 2017 11:25:14 #
