I'll ask the pastor today . . . Cool photo, though!

Any interior pictures?One would thing that over the years of this forum someone would have run across one of those early 60s LDs - or even an old camper, to post info or photos about. There must be a few hanging around SoCal. Maybe some of our Google-sleuth members can dig up some old photos.Chris
Re: Caravan Club Banner Photo Reply #5 – March 26, 2017, 07:16:51 pm Chris,Using an iPhone for LDO, I miss out on the Banner Photos. Not knowing what you are looking for, exactly, I did find some shots of what "looks like" early LD's, and some that are "for sure" LD's, some that look a little "rough around the edges" and one that looks "pretty nice" for an older LD.Dating these images will be up to some other educated soul. I've dug 'em up. Do with them as you please. Kent 1 Likes

Re: Caravan Club Banner Photo Reply #7 – March 26, 2017, 08:06:56 pm Chris,Andy was my "rough around the edges" LD 😁 (no offence Andy). I'll leave it at that.I'll log in tonight on the LT and check out the banner. I wonder if Lazy Daze has made it into the Library Of Congress. At the very least they should have a place in the Smithsonian. Somewhere between the invention of the wheel and rocket science. Right next to Dales Motorhome. https://youtu.be/Qs6tf8dKKEgKent 3 Likes
