A good article. They did know something about the TZE. Thanks for pointing it out. I read the Vega and Olds Diesel bashing ones too and left a little post too.

Chris,
I'm sure we all appreciate your recognizing our interest in your site. I
didn't mention it in pointing out the GMC article, but I was impressed with
the overall quality of your site. It's been added to my bookmarks.
We also appreciate your helping us to spread the "GMC Word"; despite the
facts that we have a lot of activities and that our coaches always attract a
lot of attention from the public, there seem to be far too many enthusiasts
who don't realize how great the GMC and its community are. Thanks for your
contribution to our publicity efforts.

Getting off subject here--but I've seen that vehicle somewhere before. My
mind is telling me it was on a trip to Canada in 1954 or so. It appears the
hood/fender are hinged on the front. If it has a 4 cylinder, as I'm trying
to recall, there's a lot of room under the bonnet. Back then those folks
north of the border got some slightly different vehicles. Remember the
Meteor?
So, Fred, it could have been a Packard by Studebaker.
Oh golly. I'm thinking about the first Isetta I saw in 1955. It was the
Italian version. Now that thing was rare and different. The Germans and
English had different models but based on the same body style.
Time to stop thinking about "yesterday".

He seems like a very nice fellow. I do not know if he is reading our responses to him, but I hope he stops in again.

According to the photo info it is a 1961 PANHARD not Packard.

""Remember when cars had (maybe some still have) a bar from the rear axle on

Yep, one & the same.

Torsion bar is easier to say than Panhard bar.
Also, know I know why I saw the Panhard in Quebec. It wasn't a trip in 56
but one in 61. There was a lot of snow that January -- in the midwest with
hardly any in the northeast. Global warming?

Funny!
I am a huge fan of both the GMC Motorhome and of camping. Sadly, monetary, time, and storage availability are all standing in my way at the moment. I now know where to go for information should I ever get the itch to move on one, though!
I have two boys under five at home, so summer 2010 will be the first time that we attempt camping - in a cabin - as a family. If that goes well, we may rent an RV the following summer, but I'm years and many thousands of dollars away from buying one of my own.
