This is the only good photo of the entire car I took, but it shows the design of the tailgate with a 2 door car instead of a long roof... unique I think. I've never seen another like it.

Cool designs, and trailers I'd love to admire in person
On the road in the mid 1930's, from Beirut to Baghdad, by way of Damascus, reminded me of the 1937 D-35 Jungle Caravan of Commander Gatti http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/09/extraordinary-designer-of-automotive.html
The above was designed by Brooks Stevens, its a 1936 Zephyr Land Yacht
The above is a Curtiss Aerocar trailer. I'd like to see a photo of the rig in the trunk of the car towing it. It reminded me of http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/12/rare-trailer-and-pulling-car-combo.htmlPosted by alex at 9:06 PM 0 comments

The wrap around windshields are even cooler, and the nice slope to the front is very good looking, as well as the 30's grill. This one had me recalling http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/03/finally-found-out-what-story-is-on-this.html
