The Ultimate Recreational Vehicle

We bought our cars 11-13 years ago, and are now replacing them to carry us through the next decade or so. We just bought a 2013 Prius. The Prius meets our need to reduce the cost of my husband's weekly commutes. Meanwhile, we've been considering what to buy next year. For years we've wanted to buy something that could pull a trailer. So earlier this week I was online window shopping teardrop trailers. These are the new 'dude crafts' @ current gas prices.

Bang Bang Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
Our fine four fendered friend."

To answer your question. It is a 1957 Ford Country Sedan.
I know that some images on the Internet attribute it to being a 1958. But 1957 was the last year of the round tail lights.
It was a concept vehicle as exhibited in this film - which features a 1958 Country Sedan

It looks like it started life as the twin of this 1959 Country Squire to me.

And I remember the Country Squire having round taillights through 1964, though it lost the fins entirely in 1962.
