Post Now this is a "Motorhome"!


It's a "Lamsteed Kampkar" made by Anhauser Bush (yes, the beer people) in 1915.
This one belongs to a couple from Australia who had it shipped to California and they are in the process of driving it to the 100 year celebration of the Model T in Indiana. So far, they have made it all the way to St. Louis Mo.
We members of the Model T Club are "babysitting" them across America by providing them with places to camp and any parts they may need.
It was restored to "perfect" condition before they left but it's 93 years old it has suffered a few aches and pains (breakdowns) along the way.
I would venture to say that this is the ONLY 1915 Lamsteed Kampkar left in the world that is still driveable. There were only a couple hundred of these things made in the first place!
He sent his last post to the forum from a McDonalds parking lot on a Lap Top, now there's a generational stretch for you.
Good grief! I won't drive my Model T any farther away from the garage than I care to walk back from.
