I think I'll just keep the 76 GMC Eleganza.

"1956 Pontiac aluminum camper with motorized butterfly doors. This was built by superior coach back in 1956. Very rare have not been able to find another one quite like it! Could be a Prototype? Aluminum in great shape! Motor turns over but been sitting for a long time. Needs restoration. I have title for it. $7500 pretty firm. Please only serious inquiries. Call or text is fine I’m in Eugene."

I suspect the camper wasn't built by Superior - rather, I think the car was probably an ambulance or hearse that was built by Superior originally, and then at some point later on someone else cut off the rear of the body and added the camper section.

That style of construction did not happen until at least 10 years later.

That vehicle with its body would turn out to be a very interesting mobile coffee/food/donut type of unit.

Over here, quite a lot of old 1950's type caravans and older vans get repurposed into that sort of thing.
