Today's big find is the 1958 Edsel Ranger motorhome conversion
http://doiop.com/Edsel_Ranger - The forward half of the erstwhile sedan
has been fused to a 60's-era camper trailer that sleeps up to six,
according to the seller...Said to be a big attention-getter wherever it
goes (no surprise there), the patriotically-colored Edselbago has
visited 48 states. Power comes from a 390 Ford V8 hooked up to a C6
transmission with a floor-mounted shifter. ( The Edsel's steering-wheel-
mounted Teletouch pushbutton tranny is now just for show.) Claimed
weight is 7,000 pounds, and the whole package is apparently good for 15-
16 mpg...

Looks like the speedometer is too - it's reading 50 mph with the vehicle parked.

If you torture the data long enough, eventually it will confess
to anything.
