When I was fourteen years old, I was amazed at how unintelligent my father was. By the time I turned twenty-one, I was astounded at how much he had learned in the last seven years!

That is simply Amazing Gunther.... Van-O-Rama... I was wondering what those 2 half bubbles on the hauler were?.. vents?.....I wonder what happened to this rig... maybe re-purposed and lost to history and the scrap yard?

One source stated it was sold to a mobile radio station, never to be seen again since. Tom Maruska, who is currently restoring the original XM said he stopped tracking down the whereabouts of the trailer, because he didn't have enough space to restore it actually.

Jeff, check out all the fabulous original advertising. This is really a wild creation rolling work of art, much like somebody like you would have come up in mid century renderings. The design is so crazy and yet so clean, it sometimes looks like photoshop. but of course we know it isn't. it was all real.

and here it is moving under it's own power, both the Xm and the truck.
Rich and Joe what do you think about the rear bumperless rolled pan on the car?! looking very sporty imho.

since this was built in 1956, it also precedes the 'hooded headlight' look of our beloved 57 Fords.

My very thought as well when looking at the front headlight treatment. This project must have cost a lot to put together.

I like it, looks pretty cool with the dual side exhaust.
