Love the Cadillac.

@paul-rouffa I’m getting ready to head out on vacation and didn’t have a chance to yet. Thanks for getting them posted!

Here's a little more info on 'em from Autocult and some pics without the watermark...

Cadillac Star Streak (USA, 1971)

A few Sizes bigger!

America is known to be a very large country and if you want to explore it intensively on your own four wheels, you need quite a long period of time. For US citizens, this is – at least in stages – a much-loved way to spend their holidays.

In the 1970s, former US soldier Paul Jones from Cape Coral, Florida dreamed of exploring the USA extensively in a motorhome and the plan matured in him to put his own suitable vehicle on wheels. He chose the chassis of an Oldsmobile Tornado as the base. It was sufficiently motorized for its new purpose with 350 US horsepower. When planning the structure, Paul Jones was guided by only one desire – to transfer as much luxury as possible from his house to his mobile accommodation.

In 1971, the ex-soldier built an aluminum frame, clad it with more aluminum panels and thus created a box that tended to have an angular structure that also had almost no curves on the inside. This made it easier for him to adapt the finished interior. The urge for a high level of comfort was not only expressed in a – for the size of the vehicle – relatively large kitchenette with cold and hot water, a refrigerator, hotplates and two sinks. In the lounge area, the seating area served as a fold-out bed for him and his wife at night. There was also room for a small bathroom in the car and he even installed a shower. TV and radio programs could be received throughout the country via antennas. Paul Jones named his car ‘Star Streak I’ and reeled off over 100,000 miles on the speedometer at the end of its journey.

Jawa 750 Roadster (CZ, 1935)

The Roadster Version

The basis of the Jawa 750 coupe version and the roadster version was the very same chassis in 1935. Also the construction of a special type of sportscar for the participation in the event of 1000 Miles of Czechoslovakia in 1935 based on the very same chassis.

Within two years, this event had grown into a prestigious endurance race, and Jawa participated with two cars as early as 1934. Because in 1935 they wanted to be even more committed to long-distance driving, Ing. Zbrojovka was entrusted with the task of designing a corresponding car. He had six vehicles made, all of which were technically similar, as they had a 745cc two-stroke engine that produced 26 hp, which was placed above the front axle. With a wheelbase of 2.3 meters, the care was very agile and therefore also very sporty to drive, especially since the two alternating drivers also sat quite low and the open racing car weighed only 700 kg – five kilograms less than the coupe version. On June 15, 1935, the second 1000-mile journey began and led via Brno to Bratislava. The distance to be driven was exactly 1540.4 kilometers.

Not only was the overall victory in the 750cc class under the due Kaiser/Kronberger achieved, but the Prize of the President of the Republic also went to the Jawa Team. The joy may have been exuberant at first, but it was very quickly clouded. With the fatal accident of the Walter driver Kůrka, Jawa decided not to derive any advertising value from its success, so there was no advertising of the successful performance of the Jawa drivers in the press.

And the Anadol STC-16

Also, I think I might have suggested the Cadillac Star Streak to Autocult on a whim.

From Autopian: "After the Star Streak I, Lt. Col. Jones doubled down. In 1988, he decided to build a sequel to the Star Streak, which is at the RV/MH Hall of Fame Museum [in Elkhart, IN] and you’re looking at now." It's also where my extensive RV and camper model collection resides.

"The 1976 Star Streak II started life as a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado with the powertrain from a 1976 Oldsmobile Toronado. That gave the Star Streak a 455 cubic inch V8, good for 215 HP and 370 lb-ft of torque. The front-wheel-drive layout was crucial as it allowed Jones to build both of his coaches with low floors, permitting his goal of a coach that fits in a garage."

So perhaps Autocult will build the sequel, too. Stranger things have happened!

Star Streak I’

Recently got mine. Technically, it is not a Cadillac because the major donor is an Olds Toronado. The headlights and taillights are probably from 1976 Cadillac Eldorado.

It was built somewhere in the first half of 80x.

What puzzles me most - it is not a popular subject, has a huge (by standards of modern resin) run of 333 pcs, and is instantly sold out, 

while Stamp has by-year releases of stock Cadillacs in every color that cost less, have smaller runs, much better paint and still are waiting for their buyer.

Does anyone have an Ultravan the Corvair based motor home?
