I came across this photo thru an email from a friend about unusual vehicles. No information was given but it looks like a '37 Ford COE and could be mounted on a GMC Motorhome frame and chassis.

If anyone has any info I'd appreciate knowing.

What you can see, rear wheels in tandem and the 8 lug Alcoas, I would suspect GMC underneath.
Kerry P. has a GMC to do the same type of car carrier for his beautiful Art-Deco handmade roadster.

As the name of the file is "37COE-GMCMH.jpg" I think you are correct.

Thanks Mike
but I applied that label when I put the photo in my own file.

What ever it is, the metalwork is truly beautiful. I need to learn to do that kind of work.

I have some friends that have done similar.
A COE GMC front, grafted to a short school bus. New crate motor, air ride, etc.
The other friend is putting a '52 Ford school bus on my old Chev one ton dually chassis. It isn't that hard to do.
