I think it is a 77 or 78 based on the dash. They reversed the paint scheme from a 78 palm beach. Originally a 78 palm beach would have had the darker green at window level. The em50 has the darker green below the stripe band.

When Jim G., Cal T. and I drove the Cabana to LA for that "Rock my RV"
show, we were sitting in Denny's a little punchy and I blurted out in a
weak moment that we should build an EM-50 look alike. It became a
challenge for me but after printing off a few stills from the movie I found
the EM-50 was a real exterior rig job. Still frame and blow up the pic,
you will see some very sloppy building. There was a reason they did not
dwell on the EM-50 fully deployed-- it looked bad. Let down I still wanted
to build something so that was the push behind the camo paint work, the
"Animal House" sharks teeth from the black Lincoln, a white army star and
bullet holes on the sides. I saw Gery Berry's sons rendition of a military
exterior treatment and took cues from it.
I'll say this, I see a lote of faces when I drive the thing around. It did
get attention at the Dothan rally I painted it for. With the side car bike
on the trailer travelling the highway I got more than a few looks. Hey,
it's all in fun, next I wanna turn the rof AC into a gun turret...

EM-50 Would be cool but I'm not a body and paint man. Now the "rust bucket" from Ben 10 I could do. Just gotta find out from the rat rod guys how to make that paint that looks like rust. The dish antennas I can get hold of. Just gotta find a reasonable Painted Desert. Well the really hard part will be convincing the CFO that having another project around is a good idea.

I had been thinking that the tall-looking satellite domes looked a lot like the phalanx turrets - a spacer with a minigun poking out the side underneath the dome, mounted on top of the rv would turn some heads, especially if it could rotate.
The barrels in the grille are a done deal...

what that brings. Just a stray thought.

Not necessary. The producers of Ben 10 have provided a lot of "renderings". <GRIN>
