In the 60's Ford did a cross country caravan which featured fancy car haulers with the current models and some of their show cars that would go from city to city on a promotion tour.  What did Ford call this deal.  GM had a simillar thing they called Motorama.  I have seen pictures and read about it but darned if I can remember.

I will have to check to be sure but I believe it was the "Fords Calvocade of Custom Cars". There is an article about it in the last issue of Legendary Ford Mag.  It is the feature on the "Italien" T-Bird. T he sad thing is I just read this about a week ago and I can't remember, I must have contracted the "Lon Argent, Old Age Desease"

Guess what?  It won't get any better.  I know!  My forgetter works a lot better than my rememberer.

I'm not sure about what ford called their deal, but chevy had what was called the "chevy show".  I remember seeing it in a round format, like the I max shows now.  You got dizzy, felt like you were behind the wheel.  This was in the 60s, see ya, Mark





thanks, Mark

I was leafing through some old Hot Rod magazines and was looking at some pictures of a car show in the May '63 issue.  There were a couple cars pictured from the "Ford Custom Caravan".  Maybe this is what you are referring to?  Or maybe it was really Rob's version, and Hot Rod shortened the title to save some money on ink.

John,

As usual, you are right my friend. It was called the "Ford Custom Caravan". And Y-Blockhead is correct, what you you have forgotten is more than I will ever have known! If I could aquire a 1/4 of your knowledge I will be fine

You guys are too kind.  I seem to have a penchant for remembering things from 40 or 50 years ago, but don't ask me anything about last week!

Went to the post office one day for my wife. I had a stack of letters and packages all with individual notes attached. Postal employee commented on the notes. I said it's how my wife makes sure I get it right. In fact, I further said, when I get back to the car theres a note on the steering wheel that says "now go home".  Sad but true. Now where did I leave the parts for that scrub?
