Boy, this looks a lot like Chic's # 3 picture above.
Paul McWilliams was a small-time vaudeville magician at the time he trouped in this housecar. Along the way of course he played other venues as well as vaude and was with the Tol Teeter Circus for a time.
When I was on the Beatty-Cole advance about 1962 I was driving to the next town somewhere in Mississippi and alongside the road an old timer had a very nice housecar and a snow-cone joint.
I pulled in and visited with him awhile. He was trying to sell the housecar and it was really a beauty- looked very much like some of the old ones shown here on the blog. I've often wondered if he found a buyer and if it exists somewhere today.
