Re: Fwd: [VAC] Most Wanted/Rarest/ Fewest



Ray,  I have never seen a "Panorama" model, but I have also heard it
referred to as a "Flying Cloud,  Panorama".   Guessing, I think it may
have been the pre-curser to Vista Vue windows, or an extra set of
windows, similar to the later model Caravanner's .    I have also seen
the living room in the rear, with extra windows on both sides, which
could make it "Panoramic".   The 22ft Panorama was only made in 1955, in
the Jax Center Plant.  In 1955, the Safari, Panorama, Flying Cloud, and
later the Caravanner were all built on the same 22 ft frame.
The mid fifties was a real time for change. Change from 6 volt to 12
volt batteries, and accessories,  some of the greatest autos ever made,
and the intro of the now famous,  Chevy V8.
