Outside is nice, but they did not spend much thought on the inside, imho.

Are you talking about the "Land Yacht" Decoliner with the "Flying Bridge" (or Fly Bridge) that was built using the GMC MH Chassis, if so, that thing is pretty dang cool and can see the resemblance in the styling. I have an imagination similar to the builder, just not the time or the resources.

It was 1941 and in the USA things were simple.
