I’ve been down south for the last couple of weeks and the weather was cool most days. It was better than the northeast as we are up to our navels in snow, and the snow piles resemble glaciers. I’ll bet they don’t completely melt until the end of April.
Fastbacks
Auto stylists keep on revisiting this styling feature.
Pictured is a ‘47 Packard Clipper Super Eight club coupe pulling a ’53 Airstream American Caravan travel trailer, both are from Brooklin. There is nothing special about the pair, but I thought they looked interesting together.

The wood trim was not a Chevrolet factory option, but a dealer installed aftermarket accessory.

Fastback automobiles became popular in the late ’40s then again in the late ‘60s, in the ‘70s they morphed into hatchbacks, a useful design that has all but disappeared. Because of high gasoline prices, and aerodynamics, fastbacks are starting to appear again.
How many fastbacks do you have on your layout?
