Something you might not be aware of, is that with the advent of big inexpensive cars, door to door, and city to city salesman were in big demand, and instead of using trucks, the car makers were building car with no back seats and huge trunks for lots of storage, called a Business Coupe, and though this is an aftermarket cabinetry far nicer than any salesman was going to pay for, it's the eye candy that pulls people into the convention booth so the sales guy can sell anything else his company makes

Luxury Liner-- forty tons of steeel !!! With apologies to Emmylou Harris. A pretty cool toolcase in the back, for sure.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about that bumper myself... on the business coupe. What's the Emmylou Harris reference?
DeleteTitle of an album she put out in the seventies-was loaded with good solid country tunes in the era of disco. If I was more competent, I would publish a link for you. C est la vie is another well done song on it.
DeleteBig slicks and mid/rear engined.
