Camper

In the late ’80s and early ’90s, Daihatsu sold a little off-road vehicle in the US, but it has been gone from the States for many years. The Japanese automaker is showing off one of the interesting concept vehicles that will be on display at the 2022 Tokyo Auto Salon this coming January.

I’ve always thought that the old ’60s and ’70s era VW camera vans were the coolest campers around, but I am now changing my mind. This extremely rare 1941 Western Flyer RV designed by Brooks Stevens is easily the coolest RV I have ever seen.

When I turned 16, one of the kids at my school got an old VW camper van as his first car. It was awesome and I was rather jealous of the coolness of that bus. I’d really like to have one of them, but I don’t want to own three cars – there is barely enough room in the driveway for two.
