Re: Yucky CL find!

reminds me of the 8-quad headlight, green and wood panel family truckster in National Lampoon's Vacation.... All it needs is "Chevy" Chase!!! Get it? CHEVY chase... Ok, dumb, but it does remind me of that car thing they drove.

Re: Yucky CL find!

I saw a Family Truckster at a swap meet last year. I don't know if it was from the movie or just a reproduction but it looked exactly like the one in the movie. It wasn't even in the swap meet for sale it was just out in the parking lot.

Hard to tell on that one. I did a search for "Three Rivers" and found references all over the U.S.

Re: Yucky CL find!

That last picture looks just like one of the trucks from the "Cars" movie. It looks exactly like it's sleeping.
