AI sadly.  Wild for sure.

Definitely  AI generated. No record of its existence from a general search on Google and Yahoo for Dale Robertson Coach or RV. Same for 40ft Eldorado RV. No pictures of it using the same search terms in "images" on Duck Duck either.

Here's a real one from that era.

Anyone know the where abouts of that oddball super long car?  I think it was a Cad but maybe Lincoln?  Last I heard it was rotting somewhere in the mid west.

There is one in Dezerland in Orlando, FLA.  It's a Cadillac El Dorado.  I seriously doubt it goes anywhere anymore.  Great museum, well worth seeing every car you can imagine across the globe all in one place. Dezerland

Cool! Just about 40 miles from me and I never knew it existed.

Here's a real one from that era.

That is Star Treak 1 (the correct spelling) and is very real. It was driven 100,000 miles before it was retired. Built by Lt.Col. Paul Jones, an Air Force officer with several engineering degrees it was the first of two of his creations. 

Col. Jones built it on a '71 Olds Toronado chassis and Toronado drivetrain along with some Cadillac trim items. It is constructed mostly of aluminum reflecting its aeronautical roots. All the glass was had made and is flush mounted. The skin is anodized aluminum. The frames are also aluminum. The instrument panel layout is reminiscent of those in a cockpit. The interior has all the amenities of a modern motorhome, kitchen, sleeping area, sound system, etc.It is lightweight for a vehicle of its size, only 5800 pounds. A fully dressed '71 Toronado checks in at 4500 +/- pounds.

It is currently in the California Automobile Museum In Sac'to.

THe second iteration, Star Treak 2.  rides on a '75 Eldorado chassis and '76 Toronado powertrain. It is much the same as Star Treak 1 but with upgraded amenities. It is in the Motorhome and Recreational Vehicle Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana.

Another AI design, but I really like it.
The front end should be factory stock though.

Blasphemy!

Tell us how you really feel, John.

I did!! They butchered a '59, a '69, a '74 Eldorado Super Fly car and God knows what the rear looks like. Oh, and it looks like they stole Beluga for the front of the camper shell! 

Like slapping The Red Oval onto a KW.

All in all though, all of them are cool in their own way. They had to designed and built. The one in the lead post here is my favorite. It's gotta be long so I can drive it. Maybe I won't turn the steering wheel the wrong way backing up.

That, is blasphemy!

Yep, I still have to remember which way to turn the steering wheel when I back up my pick up. Old habits die hard.

Back in the day I'd been on the road a couple of weeks or more. When I got home the other half asked me to back the pickup closer to her rose garden so we could unload soil amendments we bought for her rose bushes.

The pick up had west coast mirrors. I jumped in, lit the candle, looked in the drivers side mirror,the passenger side mirror and back in the drivers side mirror, cranked the wheel in the opposite direction so the phantom trailer would go where I wanted it to go.

Took out three rose bushes. Her only comment was "Truck driver, huh?" From then on she spotted the pickup whenever we were working near her garden.

That sounds about right.
