Unfortunately, not many companies making anything like that now. If you want a wooden drink holder you can get that but just try finding a 12volt disco ball!

This was taken in May 1979 at Tuckahoe Acres campground in MD. We had just finished unhitching his trailer. I have very fond memories of that van!

This is not the condition Newkirk found her in & restored her:

Pirate Boy from Pirate Vanners owns it (right Jewels-LOL) I hear that Infinite Surf is all rusted out at present. Anyone seen it recently or have current pics of it? Was a beauty in the day. Thanks,Brad | | | Re: Old Photos | Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,321 pooh-bah | pooh-bah Joined: May 2007 Posts: 3,321 | Last I heard the top was rusted out but the steel flares still good. Also heard if he gets the inheritance he's suppose to be getting, it's gonna be restored to original beauty.

Nautilus looks even better now though.

I think this must be a late 80's 'Last Chance' in Ohio.
