Really stretched GMC

[chuck blanford]

IIRC, there is a picture of this vehicle in one of the early issues of
GMCMM. It was a predominately front view, but you could see the 4 real
wheels on the drivers side. Black in color. I would love to see more
pictures and history on this unique coach!

Emory, Thanks for the info on Marcel's moving to Polk City. I have been
calling him in Ft Lauderdale for 4 months without an answer.

I have seen the coach. It has 4 sets of bogies and is in California and
is owned by a fellow who belongs to one of the clubs there.

I wanted to interview Marcel for a story on the coach but could never
catch him. He showed me photos of the Midnight Express last year when I
met him at Brooksville, FL at the FMCA area rally.
