What I refer to as a time capsule, I mean that it retains its original charm, complete with museum-quality antique accessories. The Preway gas stove appears almost new!

Seller Comments

This is an amazing time capsule! It’s never been used and has a very interesting history. It was built by legendary GM engineer Elias J Primo, he was given credit for the Corvette being made out of fiberglass! He had this camper built for his own family’s person use once. It was finished and he stored it in an airplane hangar near a lake in Detroit. His plan was to remove it from the hangar and bring it to the nearby lake to enjoy some leisure time on occasion. Like many executives he was consumed with his work and never used the camper. It remained mostly unused in storage it’s entire life. When Mr Primo was on his death bed he told his son in law about the camper, good thing he did because nobody knew it existed. We have a signed letter from the son in law verifying the story. It has been in our camper exhibit the last 11 years. We are reluctantly selling it because we don’t have the room.

Circa 1938
