I was at a classic vehicle auction, April 28, 2012 on the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul and that very vehicle sold for $23,500.00

The flathead fords of the roughly 36/37 vintage came with aluminum heads. Most were replaced with cast iron as they rotted out. My 1936 ford has cast iron flame sprayed with aluminum in order to simulate the original, but have the more durable iron. I am sure the author pointed that out because the 193* collectors know it is rare to find a car that still has the original aluminum heads.

Great to see this–made my day.

But I wish there’d been a pic of the stove/sink/etc. set-up. Just curious what people’s expectations were for such back then.

I don’t think that aluminum heads were period correct, but what a neat find.

There was a similar model on the Ken Burn National Parks Documentary. It was shown during the part of the series where car travel started to make visiting a National Park more accessible, etc. Episode 4 or 5 I believe. It belonged to a couple from Nebraska who made annual visits to the mountains. Really neat. Quite a contrast to the modern versions of motorized campers!
