The Flying Tortoise!
This is a mirror-shiny Decoliner motorhome. Its on a 1973 GM chassis, and word is it was on the TV show Storage Wars. This motorhome will probably not fail to catch EVERY single eye it passes. Probably beyond a Lambo or Ferrari revving high and electric, this liquid silver drop will get at least one comment from every person who sees it.
The unit is supposed to be good for living for five. The interior is fairly tricked out as well.
Who likes art deco? Who likes custom? Who likes retro? If you checked off these three boxes, you should comment down below to say what you think of this mercury drop.
Also, take a look at the original vehicle that this “Buck Rogers Spaceship” was build out of.
Its a FWD low-floor Class A motorhome – designed by Michael Lathers and put into production in 1972. This decoliner though is fused with a 1955 White Motor Company model 3000 cab-over-engine trash truck (that’s the front end).
