A stagecoach/horse trailer combo driven by the owner of Cal Custom, an accessories manufacturer in California. Gave us use of it for the Tucson car show in 1975? Powered by a 428 CJ and C6 auto. The 10 gallon hat is the air cleaner; the trunk on top is an evaporative cooler; and the canvas area on the back conceals the gas tank. This thing was a BLAST to drive around town before the show.
