'34 Ford woody at the Aussie hot rod nationals this year. Has all the niceties - air con, heater, cruise control etc. and a matching woody teardrop trailer. The trailer fits a full size double mattress for a comfy nights sleep, and a seperate storage compartment out the back. No doubt a TCer would convert the rear into a bar :D Note the colour matched awning - he even has colour matched old wood style deck chairs (not in the photo)

This a VW based buggy from the 70s, originally designed by custom car guru George Barris (Barris also designed the original batmobile and the munsters coach, amongst other move cars). Originally made for the 70s TV show the "bugaloos", this one was restored with a surf/tiki theme and it works well!

Barris also made a couple of surf themed show rods back in the 60s.
