Received in snail mail today, my issue of the quarterly magazine of the
AACA group [Antique Auto Club of Amer.].
Published 4 times a year, distributed only to paid members.
As usual, in the last issue of the year, there is an extensive pictorial
article covering several pages, celebrating the annual fall AACA meet held
in Hershey, Pa.
Therin, on page 66, at the bottom-right, there is a good, color picture,
measuring ~2" by ~3", of an almond mono-colored GMC coach with the verbage
>>>
''Denny Robish's 1976 GMC Birchhaven motorcoach".
Having attended the fall meet last October, [as is our annual custom for
over 4 decades] I noted at least a dozen GMC TZE coaches there this year.
Also of special note, I spied the very first GM motorhome, a real primitive,
parked in the Car Corral, [vehicles for sale area], being a 1926 wooden
bodied vehicle in very nice restored condition, ready to roll.

I think that you will continue seeing more and more interest in these machines. When you compare a GMC to any other motorhomes that have been produced, it really does have a very unique position in the market (well, perhaps the Vixen may be also close, but not many others).

George and Bill,
One of the reasons I wanted to attend the Hershey ACCA meet this year was to look for GMCs. I wasn't disappointed. I saw more GMCs there than I usually see at a Saguaro Jetset rally  Just after a nice visit with Bill, where we discussed Hess Training Vans, among other things, I found one on a table a few rows away. It was missing the door, but had both mirrors and both windshield wipers. I asked the guy how much, he said $20.00. I said "SOLD". It is sitting on the shelf in my living room.
