This is the GMC motorhome that had various model names that was powered by an Oldsmobile Toronado V8 using the front-wheel drive transaxle

John - I hear ya man. I might have been at same concert. Can't confirm or deny anything else..

The headlights give that Plymouth Fury maybe '58 look. the rest I have no clue, but looks like some Mex flavor. . Never seen another.

Yes I did, can't id them ? & the more I look at that rig, the more things I find interesting. I think it's is safe to say it's a Heinz 57 (made from maybe that many different vehicles. It does have a unique coolness to it.
Think I'm starting to like it.

John- That front license plate would be a good start. Is that from Mexico ? IDK? or maybe Cuba ?

John - yep looks like the same bones. Even has the same dent in front bumper corner. Good hunting.

The "Bat" treatment is an interesting spin.. Bent license plate may be from Malta ? "The Amazing Maltese bread van"......

Here's what I found, with it's rich history: https://www.curbsideclassic.com/blog/the-amazing-maltese-bread-van/
