Lake Placid GMC Wed, 16 June 2010 18:04

While camping this week we met some folks that were taking out their, new to them, GMC. It was a nice looking 1977 Lake Placid model. Does anyone know the story behind the Lake Placid model.

Here are a few details for what its worth.
The Lake Placid was originally called Sterling Mist. It was the last "one off" made by GMC as a GMC Motorhome show coach. I am not sure which RV shows it was displayed at. The floor plan was an "entertainment floor plan". Original pictures can be seen on pages 304 & 305 of my GMC history CD and is used by Tom Lins on ebay for his manual DVDs. I have a couple of other interior pictures somewhere, i'd have to locate them.
The original Lake Placid was owned for many years by a GMC Great Laker and I had lost track of it. IF this one is the same one, it has been modified considerably and has lost any value as an original one off, sad but true.
I think the original design was an outstanding show coach, in my opinion the changes were not an improvement on the original design.
