Funny, so did my dad and family. As I wrote some four years ago; My dad bought a new red/white 1957 Chevy wagon. He designed and built a collapsible roof top mounted sleeper for this car. It had four vacuum cylinders, (one for each corner) that when hocked up to the carb would raise it up four feet. In 1958 we went on a month long adventure from Ontario to California to visit relatives and see the sights like Disneyland.We also went to Watkins Glen for the F1 races. (The photo of the car with the sleeper up was taken in Watkins Glen state park camp grounds.)
